The site (L 14.26m; Wth 1.57m min.; D 0.05m) is orientated ESE-WNW and is largely destroyed. The length of the site is derived from a spread of material across the field surface and the precise width of the structure could not be ascertained. Where examined, it consists of twenty-six fragmented pieces of light brushwood and two light roundwoods, longitudinally and transversely laid. Most of the wood is in poor condition and evidence for branch-trimming was noted. It is set in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with occasional Eriophorum and ericaceous remains.

A deposit (L 1.24m min.; Wth 0.77m min.; D 0.05m min.) of over fourteen pieces of mixed brushwood, a light roundwood and occasional twigs on the field surface. The elements are regularly and densely laid, one piece in depth, with the majority of the brushwood orientated SE-NW. The roundwood underlies the brushwood and is perpendicular to it. This wood is in moderate condition with branch-trimming and toolmarks evident. It is set in well-humified Sphagnum peat with frequent Eriophorum and ericaceous remains and occasional fibrous roots. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2002. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument.

An irregular spread of over thirty-five pieces of brushwood on the field surface (L 3.2m; Wth 2m; D 0.1m min.). On the E side the wood is denser and irregularly laid with a general E-W orientation to the elements. To the W, this material diminishes and may have been affected by milling. The brushwood (diam. 0.015-0.05m) is up to three pieces in depth. This site is set in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with occasional ericaceous remains and fibrous roots.

The site (L 28.19m; Wth 1.62m min.; D 0.09m min.) is orientated ESE-WSW. At its E end it consists of over fifty pieces of mixed brushwood, transversely and irregularly laid, three to four pieces in depth. The transverses (diam. 0.03-0.042m) are closely set and parallel. One underlying element is set longitudinally with lighter brushwood irregularly laid to the S. Many of these lighter elements are displaced and in semi-upright positions. The wood is in quite poor condition with some pieces partially milled and very fragmented. Two fragments of a leather shoe (02E0839:1a-b) were recovered from the site. A further fragment of leather (02E0839:2) was recovered 3.1m to the N. A number of toolmarks were noted and the site lies in homogenous, moderately humified Sphagnum peat with frequent fibrous roots and occasional Eriophorum. This site has been radiocarbon dated to cal.

The site (L 412.4m; Wth 4.88m; D 0.31m) is orientated approximately NE-SW but this varies somewhat along its length. The site maintains a consistent structure along much of its length although it survival varies considerably. It is dominated by transversely laid brushwood and roundwoods with pegs and occasional radially split timbers at some of the central sightings. There are variations in the surviving width (Wth 2.1-4.88m) and the depth (D 0.05-0.31m) along the length of the site. All of the sightings have suffered a degree of machine damage and most of the wood is in poor condition. There is also extensive evidence of decay in this wood, possibly the result of insect infestation. Degraded toolmarks and a possible mortice were noted at one sighting which lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with occasional Eriophorum, ericaceous remains and unidentified reeds. The site has been dendrochronologically dated to 122±9 BC or later (Q10348). SMR OF018-163---- and SMR OF018-160---- are within 5m of the S extent of this site.

The site (L 13.41m min.; Wth 13.39m; D 0.19m min.) consists of a dense arrangement of parallel roundwoods (diam. 0.075-0.106m) and brushwood (diam. 0.03-0.034m) orientated NW-SE. These are overlain by a perpendicular arrangement of heavier roundwood, occasional brushwood and some twigs. Some of the larger elements appear to be partially interwoven. In general, the wood is very crushed and desiccated, particularly the upper exposed material. The site is in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with frequent ericaceous wood fragments and occasional unidentified reeds. This site has been dendrochronologically dated to 1570±9 BC or later (Q10349). Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin).

The site (L 23.63m min.; Wth 1.5m min.; D 0.1m min.) consists of intermittent groups of stakes and a dense, irregular deposit of brushwood and twigs. At the S and N extents, the site is defined by two groups of three stakes. There is a further group of stakes at the centre of the site, adjacent to the surviving horizontal brushwood. The brushwood (L 1.5m max.; diam. 0.02-0.06m) is fragmentary, partially disturbed. The recorded stakes (L 0.42-0.72m; diam. 0.0.3-0.06m) are set at 45-80° angles. Two of the stakes are half-splits with most of the others dressed to pencil points with metal-cut toolmarks. This site is in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with some ericaceous remains and fibrous roots. There is a tree stump adjacent to the stakes at the S end of the site and the E end of SMR OF018-172---- is 1.53m further to the S.

A single stake (L 0.5m min.; diam. 0.06m) on the field surface set at a 30° angle. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2002. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument.

The site (L 24.86m; Wth 1.5m; D 0.81m min.) is orientated NE-SW and consists of 12 posts and stakes. Two pieces of fragmented horizontal brushwood are also associated with this site. The uprights (L 0.14-0.81m; diam. 0.036-0.08m) are regularly arranged, in general they are 0.3-2.2m apart with a cluster of three, which are closely set. They occur at 45-90° angles. Three of posts are split and multi-faceted metal-cut worked ends were recorded on four other elements. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin).

The site (L 10.4m min.; Wth 0.74m min.; D 0.07m) is orientated E-W and composed of over twenty-two pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.01-0.04m) and a roundwood (diam. 0.07m), most of which are longitudinally laid. This wood is densely arranged, one to two pieces in depth. Although some milling damage has occurred the wood is generally in good condition. Woodworking is evidenced by some toolmarks and branch-trimming. It is in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with occasional Eriophorum and unidentified reeds. Radiocarbon dated to 400-118 cal. BC (Wk-11720). The S end of SMR OF018-169---- is 1.53m to the N. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin).

The site was reported by Mr J. Kilmurray (BnM Bog Supervisor Mountlucas and Clonad Bogs). The walls of the structure (dims. 4m N-S x 4m E-W; H 2m) were composed of planks laid edge to edge and the floor, or possibly the collapsed roof, consisted of heather. Pegs secured the external corners where the ends of the planks protruded beyond the ends of each wall. Entry into the structure was via a 'trap gate' device. Items contained within the structure included a 'wooden spool' and a circle of burnt timbers. There was also a sub-rectangular timber object (L c. 0.6m; Wth c. 0.12m D c. 0.05m). with flat sides through which ran a circular perforation containing a cylinder shaped wooden 'handle'. It apparently tapered near the end with the 'handle' and had 'grit' embedded in the other end. This 'grit' was thought to be a consequence of the object being used either for shovelling or for pounding. This site was most likely Iron Age or later in date as it was situated above SMR OF018-157----, which was dendrochronologically dated to 122±9 BC or later. No remains of this structure survive.
