The National Monuments Service's description
Several brushwoods oriented N-S exposed in the drain face 0.93m from the field surface. The brushwoods are supported by a small patch of twigs and all are in good condition. The elements exposed measured on average 0.40m in length, 0.03m in diameter and were closely placed. A single element was sampled and was later identified as hazel. The peat in which the site was located was well decomposed sphagnum peat with eriophorum inclusions.
