Structure

An irregular deposit (L 0.45m min.; Wth 0.95m; D 0.3m) of brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.04m) and roundwoods (diam. 0.06-0.08m). All of the wood is in good condition with a metal-cut wedge point on one element and branchtrimming on another. The site is in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with some ericaceous remains and follows the slope of a possible palaeo-channel, sloping from close to the field surface at the W extent, toward the base of the drain at the E extent. This is one of a number of sites running along the line of a possible palaeo-channel orientated in a N direction across the bog, including SMR OF010-463---- the N and SMR OF010-462----, which is 0.4m above SMR OF010-461----. 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.
