What is recorded here

The site (L 20.2m min.; Wth 1.9m; D 0.13m) is orientated N-S and consists of longitudinal roundwoods set 1.2m apart, above which lie closely laid, transverse roundwoods. Pegs (diam. 0.04-0.06m) flank the edges of the site with one peg positioned in the centre. These are set at 45-90°. The wood is in good condition, although some upper surfaces have been damaged due to exposure. Woodworking is evidenced by branch-trimming and a wedge point cut with a metal tool. It lies in well-humified fen peat with Sphagnum and unidentified reeds. This site has been radiocarbon dated to 1937-1644 cal. BC (Wk-11713).
