What is recorded here

The site (L 16.97m min.; Wth 0.68m; D 0.16m) is orientated ENE-WSW. At the E end it consists of three closely set longitudinal planks and two pegs. The planks (W 0.12-0.42m) are radially, tangentially and half-split. The pegs (diam. 0.04-0.05m) have been flattened to angles of 30° max. The wood is in poor condition and lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with ericaceous remains and a layer of Eriophorum appears to have grown over the site. At the W end this structure continues as a roundwood and two split timbers. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin). Date of upload: 23 May 2011
