What is recorded here
The site (L 205.05m; Wth 0.95m; D 0.22m) is orientated NE-SW and consists of a dispersed spread of brushwood and roundwoods. At the NE end of the site, the structure is evident as three pieces of heavy brushwood (diam. 0.047-0.068m), identified as willow and alder. At an adjacent sighting it is denser and consists of three roundwoods and over thirty pieces of brushwood, orientated N-S. On the E side, this material is delimited by two parallel, heavy roundwoods and on the W side, by a band (Wth 0.5m) of overlapping pieces of brushwood, 2-3 rods deep. This material is Sphagnum and Eriophorum peat. The site shares the same orientation as the gravel trackway SMR OF015-464---- which extends for 245m beyond the most N sighting. However, both sites are very different in form and construction.
