What is recorded here

Milling has worn the timber smooth, but it still splits radially inside Offaly peat. The wood lies among Sphagnum, Eriophorum and Calluna, large enough to have stood before it fell or was made to serve. Whether it marked a path, supported a roof or simply crossed a wet field, the moss has kept that much of its shape.

A radially-split timber (L 1.07m min.; diam. 0.15m) on the field surface. The wood is in poor condition as a result of milling. It is in well-humified Sphagnum and Eriophorum peat containing Calluna.
