Structure

A deposit (L 0.68m min.; Wth 4.33m; D 0.7m min.) of brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.06m), roundwoods (diam. 0.062-0.1m) and occasional twigs. The elements are unevenly spaced, irregularly laid and are between two to five pieces deep. The wood is situated in two different peat strata. The majority of the pieces are in well-humified Sphagnum peat with ericaceous remains, while the remaining material is located above this in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with fibrous roots. This upper material is lighter in character and most likely constitutes a separate structure. 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. The original survey description was compiled by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin). Assessed and revised by: Caimin O'Brien, Paul Walsh Date of upload: 23 May 2011
