What is recorded here
Bog pressure and farm wheels have broken the trackway, yet one sail and nine rods still trace a line across the field. That is enough to show that people crossed this place before it became only peat and memory.
A probable hurdle trackway exposed on the field surface and damaged by milling. One sail and nine rods are clearly visible with one sail retaining a worked end (chisel point). The elements range from 0.015m to 0.03m in diameter and are visible in two places over 3.17m. It occurs within a cluster of sites situated between the western edge of the bog and the dryland island within the bog. (Bermingham 2014)
