The National Monuments Service's description
A small platform (exposed area 1.4m x 1.2m) located on the field surface was being milled. The remains comprised c. 40 pieces of small brushwood and twigs (diam. 0.01-0.02m) along with four larger pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.05m). All of the rods extended E-W except for the remnants of several transverse small pieces of brushwood. Two possible toolmarks were noted. Further remains were visible in the W face of a nearby drain.
