What is recorded here

One end of the hazel rod shows a smooth, worked surface, hinting that human hands shaped it before peat and time took it back. The rest has fragmented into poor condition, denying the rod the strength needed to stand as monument or marker. What remains is a slender piece of wood, half remembered and half lost, waiting for another person to decide whether it is tool, toy or trash.

A piece of hazel brushwood (L 1m min.; diam. 0.015m) on the field surface. The piece has been fragmented by milling and is in poor condition. One end appears to have been worked and there is possible evidence for branch-trimming. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 1993. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument. The original survey description was compiled by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin). Assessed and revised by: Caimin O'Brien, Paul Walsh Date of upload: 23 May 2011
