The National Monuments Service's description
A roundwood, two pieces of light brushwood and seven possible stave fragments in the drain face (Wth 0.84m; D 0.27m). The roundwood and the pieces of brushwood are unevenly spaced and irregularly laid. The stave fragments overlie these and are closely packed together, one/two pieces deep. Woodworking with a metal tool is clearly evident. The site is in well-humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum. SMR OF010-430----, SMR OF010-431---- and SMR OF010-435---- are within 1m of the site. SMR OF010-429---- lies to the N at a comparable level. 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
