The National Monuments Service's description
Remains comprised a series of regularly laid roundwoods and brushwood (L 3m; Wth 2m), with hazel and birch predominant. Toolmarks were evident but the wood uncovered was in a very bad state of preservation. Although the remains were insufficient to classify with certainty, the possibility that they may have represented the last vestiges of a togher could not be excluded.
