Structure

A worked tree trunk, roundwoods and brushwood on the field surface (L 3.35m; Wth 0.89m min.; D 0.24m). The tree trunk (diam. 0.09-0.19m) is orientated NW-SE and as it narrows the number of side branches increases. Directly this, lying perpendicular to it, are four roundwoods (diam. 0.083-0.202m). Six pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.04-0.052m) are irregularly laid both below and at the same level as the tree trunk. At its widest end the tree trunk has a degraded wedge point. The wood is in a poor condition and lies in well-humified Sphagnum peat with occasional ericaceous remains. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2002. 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
