What is recorded here

Seven brushwood pieces lay unevenly across the Offaly peat, marked by three chisel points and buried beneath months of rain. Cattle trampled the site into powder before human hands could finish what the mill had begun. The wood may have belonged to a bridge, a fence or a child's toy, but the peat kept no answer. What remains is a shallow shadow where structure and forgetting collided.

Seven pieces of mixed brushwood on the field surface (L 0.54m; Wth 1.21m; D 0.03m). The brushwood is irregularly laid, unevenly spaced and one piece deep. Woodworking is evidenced by three chisel points. This site has been extensively damaged by milling and is all but destroyed. It lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with a large amount of Eriophorum. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2002.
