The National Monuments Service's description

A stake (L 0.31m; diam. 0.045m) sitting at an angle of 80° on field surface. Only the end of the stake remains which consists of a blunt wedge point with 0.2m long facets. The degree of desiccation of this piece suggests that it is ex situ or that it may be modern. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 1993. 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
