The National Monuments Service's description
Eleven light brushwoods exposed in section in the drain face 0.56m from the field surface. The elements were closely spaced and were also visible in the opposing drain face. The function of this site is unclear but it may represent a short length of a light brushwood trackway or a small platform. A single piece was sampled and was identified as hazel. The peat was moderately humified sphagnum peat with frequent eriophorum inclusions.
