What is recorded here
A deposit (L 1.76m min.; Wth 1.43m; D 0.35m) of mixed brushwood, two stakes and occasional twigs. The elements are widely spaced, irregularly laid and up to two pieces deep. The stakes are set at 85-90°, with one at the centre of the deposit and the other towards the NE extent of the site. Woodworking is evidenced by a single chisel point. The site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with fibrous roots. SMR OF010-292---- is 3.3m to the NE. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2001. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument.
