What is recorded here

Kinnegad Bog in County Meath hid two parallel roundwoods inside its raised peat, each barely thicker than a wrist and buried beneath centuries of darkness. They appeared suddenly in a drain face, lying side by side like forgotten tools or markers, then vanished before excavation could confirm their purpose. The bog kept its secret until the secret was gone entirely.

This site was located in the industrial peatlands of Kinnegad Bog. It was first recorded as two parallel roundwoods exposed in section in the drain face 0.8m below the surface. The roundwoods were not visible in the opposing drain face, and were lying parallel to one another. They were each 0.06 m in diameter. The monument sat in raised bog peat with Eriophorum (Bermingham 2014). Upon excavation in 2015 (licence 15E0176) the site was found to be no longer extant (Whitaker 2017).
