What is recorded here

No. Peatland is not a human made structure. The facts describe a rotted roundwood in humified peat, not a built chamber or arena. They also state the evidence does not support an archaeological monument. I will not invent that it is a chamber or map a human story onto it.
A milled and rotted roundwood (L 1m; diam. 0.08m) orientated N-S on the field surface. The piece is located in well-humified peat Sphagnum, Eriophorum and ericaceous peat. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 1996. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
