The National Monuments Service's description
A band (exposed Wth 2m; T 0.3m) of brushwood and roundwood (diam. 0.06-0.09m) with pegs (diam. 0.025m), aligned NE-SW, was exposed in a drain face. It was also visible in the opposite drain face and there were some degraded elements on the field surface. The evidence suggested that this was likely to be the remains of a platform.
