What is recorded here

The partially destroyed remains of a hurdle panel (L 1.43m min.; Wth 1.39m min.; D 0.07m min.) of light brushwood. The panel has an apparent N-S orientation with two portions, up to 0.46m apart, surviving. The rods (diam. 0.01-0.02m) are smaller in the E portion. Eight sails (diam. 0.015-0.03m) survive in the W and three in the E portion. There is a single peg, (diam. 0.02m), cut to a pencil point. Additional woodworking is evidenced by eleven pieces of brushwood with metal-cut wedge points. Where not machine damaged the wood is in good condition and set in poorly to moderately humified Sphagnum peat with some Eriophorum.
