What is recorded here

No. Of a kind: A band of half-split timbers, irregular off-splits and two pieces of light brushwood (Wth 4.96m; D 0.18m). The elements are sparsely and irregularly laid and do not form a coherent structure. The off-splits occasionally occur in small groups and one sits at an angle of 45° but this does not appear to have been functional. All of the wood is in poor condition. A small lens of sand lies beneath one of the half-split

The off-splits occasionally occur in small groups and one sits at an angle of 45° but this does not appear to have been functional. All of the wood is in poor condition. A small lens of sand lies beneath one of the half-split timbers. The site sits in well-humified, minerogenic Sphagnum peat containing occasional Calluna and much natural wood.
