The National Monuments Service's description
Transverse and longitudinal arrangement of brushwoods and roundwoods visible in section in the drain face 0.44m below the field surface. The elements were closely spaced and appeared to form part of a small platform. They ranged in size from 0.02-0.06m in diameter. A single element was sampled and identified as alder. The peat was well humified sphagnum peat with frequent eriophorum inclusions.
