The National Monuments Service's description

A deposit (L 1.77m; Wth 0.4m; D 0.1m) of four pieces of hazel brushwood and a single oak roundwood on the field surface. The roundwood has been partially damaged by machinery. Three pieces of brushwood are orientated NNW-SSE while the fourth piece lies almost at a right angle to these. One piece is cut to a chisel point. 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
