The National Monuments Service's description
A finely dressed large piece of broken wood on the field surface 0.86m from the drain edge. About 12m to the northeast is a single stake. Both sightings are recorded here as ME046-080----. The horizontal piece may not be in its original location. It was aligned northeast - southwest and although reasonably solid was both shredded and broken by milling. The piece was dressed on seven faces bearing flat, clean facets made with a wide, flat metal-bladed axe with slightly expanded corners. The stake measured 0.045m in diameter and was set at a 40° angle. Its top was broken from milling. The horizontal element was sampled for radiocarbon dating and wood species analysis.
