What is recorded here

A row (L 8.2 min.; Wth 2m; D 0.3m) of twelve posts (L 0.3-0.99m; diam. 0.065-0.1m) orientated ENE-WSW. The posts of alder, ash and birch occur singly at uneven intervals (0.25-1.7m) and at angles of 75-80°. The lower ends are trimmed to chisel and wedge points with a range of flat and concave tool facets some of which are very long (L 0.18m). A scatter of broken hazel brushwood (diam. 0.018-0.05m), twigs and an ash roundwood (diam. 0.08m) is located at the NW end of the site. The ends of some of the brushwood are worked to wedge points but most are simply broken or torn. Most of the brushwood lies obliquely to the line of posts singly or in pairs but one group of three parallel elements was noted. This site may be related to SMR OF006-081---- located 3m to the NW.
