The National Monuments Service's description
This structure consisted of a deposit (L 0.5m; Wth 0.15m; D 0.06m) of twenty pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.015-0.03m; L 0.5m max.), most of which were orientated NNE-SSW. The wood was in good condition with metal-cut toolmarks present throughout. Fragments of stitched leather, possibly the remains of a shoe, were recovered (Moore and O’Connor 2009a, 35, EDC 32).
