What is recorded here

Unlocated house described by Daniel O'Byrne in 1856 as 'About a mile and a half from the village of Timahoe is a bog called the 'White Bog'; it is situated on Fossy Mountain…..About thirty years ago Robert Legget Esq. possessor of the mountain, having men employed in taking turf out of the centre of the bog, discovered a square structure originally resting about sixty feet below the bog's surface. The structure was made by oak plaes resembling stakes closely set one after the other all of equal height about seven feet, and so resting to allow the constructors to weave strong switches between them' (O'Byrne 1856, 17).
