The National Monuments Service's description
Worked wood in opposing drain faces and on one field surface (L 15.54m; Wth 0.09m; D 0.04m). The first sighting consists of two parallel pieces of brushwood in the drain face with a light roundwood and a piece of brushwood in the opposing drain face. A fourth brushwood is located on the field surface. Woodworking is evident on one piece of brushwood. The material appears to be orientated E-W and may be the remains of a more substantial site. It is situated in moderately humified Sphagnum peat. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 1997. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument.
The original survey description was compiled by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin). Assessed and revised by: Caimin O'Brien, Paul Walsh
