What is recorded here

A small platform (exposed L 2.9m; Wth 0.8m) noted on the field surface immediately WNW of a drain was being milled. Remains consisted of more than 50 pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.04m), the majority of which were aligned NNE-SSW, and at least four transverse pieces. Though not as structured as a normal hurdle, the brushwood did appear to have been woven. One piece showed evidence of woodworking. Some remains were visible in the opposite ESE drain face but were too degraded to excavate.
