The National Monuments Service's description
Two parallel pieces of heavy brushwood in one drain face with a further roundwood in the opposing drain face (L 2.52m min.; Wth 0.33m; D 0.04m). The pieces of brushwood (L 1.1m min.) are set 0.26m apart, orientated N-S. This material is present within moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous remains. In the opposite drain the roundwood (L 1.27m; diam. 0.075m) is orientated NW-SE. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 1998. 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
