What is recorded here
The site (L 1.6m min.; Wth 0.8m; D 0.3m) is orientated NNW-SSE and constructed of roundwoods (diam. 0.068-0.13m) and heavy brushwood. The wood is predominantly longitudinally laid and is two/three pieces deep. The larger elements are concentrated above the smaller ones forming a substantial walking surface. Woodworking is not evident. The site sits in moderately humified Sphagnum peat. It is 0.75m below the E side of the Late Bronze Age site SMR OF018-016----. The site may be related to SMR OF018-112---- further to the NW, which runs along the same line and has a similar, although slighter, composition.
