The National Monuments Service's description

A single north – south aligned worked roundwood exposed on the field surface. The piece, 0.39m long and 0.075m in diameter, is machine damaged with bark surviving on the underside. Both ends are worked with toolmarks made using a flat metal blade. The roundwood was recovered and is suitable for radiocarbon and wood species analyses. (Bermingham 2014)
