What is recorded here

In cut-away bog on flat, low-lying ground on the S bank of the W-E River Lung, 1.3m below the surface of Callow Bog. Investigated in 1966 by E. Rynne. A NNE-SSW timber road (L c. 100m) leading to what must have been a fording point across the Lung River where it was continued by togher (RO008-016----) on the N bank. One or two logitudinal planks (oak) retained by vertical pegs (oak) formed a narrow walking surface (Wth 0.2-0.4m). Radiocarbon dated to 1433-1316 BC (3115±25 BP; GrN-14729) (Brindley and Lanting 1998, 54-5), it is not now visible at ground level although it may survive in uncut sections of bog.
