The National Monuments Service's description
A roundwood and brushwood deposit consisting of a single roundwood and one piece of brushwood exposed in section in the drain face. Both pieces enter the drain face obliquely and occur in a single layer 0.75m below the surface. The site is situated in raised bog peats and lies below a series of laminated raised bog peats. The brushwood was sampled for radiocarbon dating and wood species analysis. ME046-073---- lies 15m east of ME046-074----, another peatland structure. (Bermingham 2014)
