The National Monuments Service's description

The site (L 25.76m min.; Wth 0.65m min.; D 0.28m min.) is orientated N-S and consists of severely damaged longitudinal brushwood and a roundwood. The brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.06m) and roundwood (diam. 0.07m) are regularly spaced, although somewhat disturbed. A peg is evident at the S end of the site. The wood is desiccated and fragmentary and set in moderately to well-humified Sphagnum peat.
