- OF003-032: Structure - peatland, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF003-032----. A single roundwood and two fragmentary pieces of brushwood on the field surface (L 3.25m min.; Wth 0.65m; D 0.075m). A bulldozer machine has extensively damaged this site. The brushwood (diam. 0.015-0.03m) survives as fragments and bark. A very fragile, possible stone toolmark survives at one end of the roundwood. The site lies in well-humified fen peat with Phragmites and woody 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. 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

The site (L 68.5m; Wth 2.95m; D 0.26m) is orientated N-S and is constructed of morticed planks, roundwoods and brushwood. It varies in surviving width (Wth 2.7-3.25m) and depth (D 0.08-0.26m) along its length. At the N extent, it is constructed of two layers with a basal layer of predominantly longitudinal brushwood with some transverses and fragments of split timbers. Above this is a morticed plank, secured by a peg. The upper surface is formed of longitudinal planks (Wth 0.06-0.22m; D 0.01-0.048m), roundwoods (diam. 0.065-0.09m) and brushwood. The larger elements are concentrated on the W side of the site and a deposit of lighter brushwood elements is present at the E extent. Three pegs (diam. 0.055m) are set at 75-90° angles securing the larger elements in place. Woodworking is evidenced by the seven, very thin, radially split planks, by stone toolmarks on the end of one of the pegs and by the D-shaped mortice. This portion of the site is in moderately humified fen peat with Sphagnum and a very high proportion of unidentified reeds. Beyond this, to the S, there is no discernable structure evident, although there is brushwood on the field surface, along the line of the site. The S extent consists of a transverse plank, brushwood, roundwoods and some possible pegs. A chert scraper (02E0942:2) was recovered from the field surface 1.4m to the N of this sighting. This site was dendrochronologically dated to 3643±9 BC or later (Q10345). Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin). Date of upload: 23 May 2011

The elements (diam. 0.012-0.036m) are predominantly orientated N-S, one to two pieces deep. Twigs are dispersed throughout the deposit, which is in well-humified fen peat with Sphagnum and unidentified reeds.

The site (L 14.4m min.; Wth 1.394m; D 0.166m) is orientated NW-SE in the drain face and on the adjacent field surface At one sighting it consists of a dense bed of light brushwood and twigs overlain by heavy brushwood and a single roundwood. All the elements are transversely laid apart from the roundwood and a single piece of heavy brushwood, which are longitudinally laid. In another location, at a slightly lower level, it consists of longitudinal brushwood, a single roundwood and a peg. This material is very fragmentary due to milling and exposure. Woodworking is evidenced by a degraded chisel point. It lies in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous remains. Radiocarbon dated to 1683-1409 cal. BC (Wk-11724).

A deposit of brushwood, roundwoods and twigs on the field surface (L 5m; Wth 0.78m; D 0.05m). The site appears to run NE-SW but the brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.03m) and roundwoods (diam. 0.06-0.08m) are fragmentary and irregularly laid with no clear structure. The elements are highly degraded and there is a large amount of ex situ material in the area. This site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with a high amount of Eriophorum and some ericaceous remains. 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 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

The site (L 7.25m; Wth 2m; D 0.46m) is orientated NW-SE and consists of three stakes (diam. 0.05-0.06m) which are set at 45° angles. Two of the stakes are 0.02m apart, the third lies 7.25m NW of these. The condition of the wood ranges from poor to good with a well-preserved wedge point present on one element.

The site (L 12.9m min.; Wth 3.3m; D 0.1m min.) is orientated N-S and consists of mixed brushwood, roundwoods, twig beds, pegs and a single post. The brushwood is irregularly deposited, up to four pieces deep, amongst which lie three longitudinal roundwoods. Four pegs (diam. 0.02-0.05m), two at each edge of the site, are set at 20-90° angles. There is a vertical post (diam. 0.08m) in the centre of the site. Woodworking is evidenced by two metal-cut chisel points. This site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and Calluna. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College Dublin). Date of upload: 23 May 2011

The site (L 4.1m min.; Wth 1.14m min.; D 0.13m min.) is orientated WNW-ESE and is constructed of five roundwoods, which are closely and longitudinally laid. At the NE extent of the site is a single transverse roundwood. Scattered throughout are occasional irregularly laid, light brushwood and twigs. The elements are in good condition with a metal-cut pencil point present. The main body of the site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with a high amount of Eriophorum and some Calluna. Overlying this material are two roundwoods orientated NE-SW. One is extremely decayed, the other has intact bark and is similar to a tree trunk.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
