Recorded monuments

• OF015-179 Structure - peatland
  Description

  Two pieces (Wth 0.31m; D 0.13m) of brushwood (diam. 0.03-0.06m) orientated NE-SW in the drain face. One piece is of alder, the other is of Pomoideae. They occur at a slight distance from each other and a direct relationship cannot be established. Both are found within the same peat stratum of well-humified Sphagnum peat with frequent, unidentified rootlets. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 1996. 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 Date of upload: 23 May 2011

• OF015-180 Structure - peatland
  Description

  Two pieces (Wth 0.28m; D 0.12m) of brushwood (diam. 0.035-0.05m) the drain face. One piece is of ash, the other of hazel. The pieces in the drain face are situated in two different peat strata and, therefore, may not be related. The lower piece sits in well-humified Sphagnum peat containing Menyanthes seeds. The upper piece is found in moderately humified Sphagnum peat. A displaced piece of worked brushwood on an adjacent field surface may have derived from this location. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 1996. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument.
