The National Monuments Service's description
An irregular deposit (Wth 0.99m; D 0.24m) of five pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.04m). Toolmarks are visible on a worked end. The wood is in moderate condition and set in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and fibrous roots. 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.
The original survey description was compiled by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin). Assessed and revised by: Caimin O'Brien, Paul Walsh
