Nineteen wetland structures or platforms were identified during the course of field survey of Derryville Bog (Gowen 1999, 112-22). The majority were constructed of a combination of brushwood and roundwood. In three cases (TN036-050129/130, TN036-050137) small anchoring pegs were used and there were two examples of woven brushwood (TN036-050130, TN036-050133). Dates were obtained from four of these possible platforms ranging from the Late Bronze Age 792-526 BC (TN036-050127) to the Iron Age 351-120 BC (TN036-050128). Wood species were identified at nine sites - wood used included alder, ash, birch, hazel and willow.
