What is recorded here
A togher (L 12.9m min.; D 0.6m), orientated NW-SE, with a compact superstructure of longitudinal hazel and oak brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.03m), six pieces deep, supported by a transverse substructure of large roundwood (diam. 0.23m max.). In one section, a brushwood hurdle was used as the substructure. Toolmarks visible were quite degraded but may have been made by a stone tool.
