Trackway
 
Peatland
     

Description
A short, trough-like craft discovered in a peat bog north of Kilraghts. The hull is flat-bottomed but rises sharply at rounded ends, each of which is of considerable thickness. At either end two stumpy projections may have served to enable it to be carried short distances. The approximate overall length was 2.4m, maximum beam 58cm and 33cm high.
