What is recorded here
A dense deposit (Wth 1.14m; D 0.4m) of brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.05m) and some twigs in the drain face with some outlying pieces. The elements are predominantly orientated N-S. The wood is in good condition and set in moderately to poorly humified Sphagnum peat with some Eriophorum. 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.
