What is recorded here
Situated on flat bogland. This site consisted of two separate deposits of mixed brushwood and roundwood set roughly at right angles to each other which formed an L-shaped track (dims. 3.5m x 1.5m; 3m x 2.4m). The wood within each deposit was longitudinally set and rested on a brushwood and roundwood substructure. (Murray 1999, Derryfadda 211, 47-8)
