Road

A deposit of brushwood, laid 3-4 pieces deep, and occasional twigs (L 1.7m; Wth 1.15m; D 0.11m) which has suffered extensive milling damage. The site may represent two phases of construction or two separate sites. Heavy brushwood dominates the upper layers, with lighter, more uniform brushwood beneath. Some of these lighter elements may have been interwoven. The majority of the pieces are orientated E-W while others are perpendicular. A single metal-cut chisel point was noted. Wood species include hazel, birch, holly and yew. The site is in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous remains.
