What is recorded here

This site was located in the industrial peatlands of Cloonshannagh Bog. It was excavated in a single cutting, under licence 15E0194. The site was dated to cal. AD 139-199 and AD 206-365. The site was composed of three E-W oriented hazel brushwood sails and the possible remains of a fourth sail to the south. N-S interwoven light brushwood hazel rods and associated pegs were found as well. They were a variety of hazel, birch, pomoideae and alder. The elements were in moderate to poor condition. Five chisel point toolmarks were recorded with flat facets. There were 12 supporting brushwood pegs found. All of the pegs had flat, single faceted, toolmarked ends (Coughlan and Whitaker 2019).
