What is recorded here
Milling has chewed the wood into splinters, but two pegs still stand at the north edge, buried in poor peat and forgotten moss. The deposit is small, scattered and damaged beyond easy reading. It may have marked a path, a boundary or a temporary shelter, yet the peat has taken the shape and left only a suggestion behind.
An irregular, dispersed deposit (L 1.47m min.; Wth 1.03m; D 0.11m) of brushwood (diam. 0.024-0.04m), twigs and pegs. Two pegs are evident at the N side of the site. The wood has been severely damaged by milling and is set in poorly humified Sphagnum peat at some 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.
