The site (L 15.16m min.; Wth 2.6m; D 0.06m min.) is orientated NNW-SSE and consists of an irregular deposit of roundwoods, brushwood and twigs. At the S extent, there are eight heavy roundwoods (diam. 0.08-0.13m), predominantly longitudinals, with some irregularly laid brushwood (diam. 0.036-0.04m). Most of the wood is in poor condition and no woodworking is evident. The site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with ericaceous remains. This is one of a number of sites running along the line of a possible palaeo-channel orientated in a N direction across the bog, including SMR OF010-466---- is to the SE. SMR OF010-467----, 1.17m to the N, is 0.18m above this site and SMR OF010-458----, 3.31m to the N, is 0.23m above it. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin).
