The National Monuments Service's description
This possible platform was exposed in section in the drain face 0.35m from the field surface. It was composed mainly of closely placed roundwood elements oriented E-W one to two elements deep. The site measured 1.08m in width and 0.15m in depth. The elements ragned in size from 0.02-0.09m in diameter. It was located 0.15m above ME-KND016 and 2m south of ME-KND014. A single element was sampled and later identified as maloideae (from the apple subfamily) and dated to 1260-900BC. The peat was moderately decomposed with frequent inclusions of eriophorum.
