The National Monuments Service's description
This structure, orientated N-S, consisted of a disturbed deposit (L 2.03m; Wth 1.27m; D 0.25m) of brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.05m; L 0.06-0.28m), occasional roundwood (diam. 0.12-0.17m; L 0.6-1.2m), twigs and four pieces of split timber (L 0.08-0.55m), which was very loosely and irregularly laid up to six pieces deep. The wood was in poor condition and woodworking was evident on several elements. Species identified included ash, birch and alder. Another structure (LF004-049----) was located 3.4m to the NE (Moore and O'Connor 2009b, 14, TOM 1).
