What is recorded here
A single piece of brushwood (L 0.35m min.; diam. 0.055m) with branchtrimming on the field surface. It is in poorly humified Sphagnum peat rich in Eriophorum and ericaceous remains. 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 OF010-460---- to the N and SMR OF010-441----, 1.43m to the S, which is 0.4m above SMR OF010-453----. 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.
