What is recorded here

Thirty-five years of peat have not touched the forty wood shards inside the hollow. They still lie at the angle human hands gave them, while the swamp above forgot the event that buried them. People may have built a small aid for crossing water or marking a boundary before the land swallowed it. The peat keeps the shape but removed the reason, leaving behind a wooden hole instead of a answered question.

A deposit of more than forty pieces of light brushwood and occasional twigs (Wth 1.62m; D 0.16m). The majority of this material is closely set, forming a small, compact deposit and four pieces of brushwood lie scattered to the SW. This site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and 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.
