Description
A compact arrangement (Wth 0.5m; D 0.2m) of ash roundwoods (diam. 0.08-0.1m) and brushwood (diam. 0.035-0.05m). A piece of brushwood, possibly a peg, is wedged between two of the elements. Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit, UCD. Date of upload: 24 August 2010

Description
A spread (Wth 0.6m; D 0.25m) of ash roundwoods with brushwood (diam. 0.025-0.035m) in a fairly compact NW-SE arrangement. A single ash chip (L 0.13m; diam. 0.11m) lies transversely on the upper surface of the structure. Toolmarks were recorded at one end of this piece, the opposing end having been broken in antiquity. It is removed from the landscape (Rohan 2012). Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit, UCD. Date of upload: 19 June, 2012
- RO054-057 Structure - peatland
Description
A single piece of heavy brushwood (L 0.62m; diam. 0.06m) on the surface of the field. The piece is orientated E-W. One end is broken while the other is worked to a chisel point. Small side branches had been removed but some bark survives intact. It is removed from the landscape (Rohan 2012). Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit, UCD. Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO054-058 Structure - peatland
Description
A site (Wth 2m; D 0.7m) consisting of two parallel oak roundwoods exposed on the field surface approximately 1.7m apart. One of these is an oak trunk (L 3.6m; diam. 0.23m) and the other is a roundwood (L 3.5m min.; diam. 0.115m). The elements are positioned N-S. A side branch had probably been sawn from one end of the trunk. Factors such as the fresh condition of the wood, its location on a ridge field and the presence of saw marks imply that this wood may be relatively modern. It is removed from the landscape (Rohan 2012). Compiled by: Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit, UCD. Date of upload: 19 June, 2012
