The National Monuments Service's description
A small platform (exposed area 0.46m ENE-WSW; 0.42m NNW-SSE) was located on the field surface and was being milled. The remains consisted of tightly packed, longitudinal brushwood and twigs (diam. 0.005-0.02m), which extended under the milled surface. There was no visible evidence of woodworking. (Dunne 1999, 41, 99DD0004A)
