What is recorded here

The site (L 16.03m min.; Wth 1.74m; D 0.29m) is orientated NNW-SSE and consists of a substantial construction of brushwood and roundwoods. At the NW extent, the site is composed of longitudinally laid brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.05m) and roundwoods (diam. 0.06-0.09m) with twigs and a vertical peg. The elements are in a moderate condition. Occasional twigs occur throughout and there is a small bed of twigs at the N end of the exposure. Some of the uppermost material has been damaged by milling and is more degraded. A single degraded toolmark is evident. This site is in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with occasional ericaceous remains and some fibrous roots. 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 OF010-469---- to the NW and SMR OF010-457---- to the S.
