Structure

A deposit of roundwoods (diam. 0.09-0.11m), brushwood (diam. 0.04-0.05m) and two timbers (L 1.64m min.; Wth 1.51m; D 0.16m). The elements are regularly laid and unevenly spaced. The majority of the wood is laid parallel. The timbers are tangentially (Wth 0.12m; D 0.06m) and radially (Wth 0.12m; D 0.11m) split. The material in the drain face to the NW is devoid of timbers and is more densely packed. Additional woodworking is evidenced by pieces of brushwood cut to chisel points. The site is in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with some ericaceous remains. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2001. 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
