The site (L 3.21m min.; Wth 2.54m; D 0.05m) is orientated N-S and consists of light brushwood and twig beds, which are longitudinally and densely laid, up to two pieces deep. The brushwood occurs both above and below the twig beds. The wood is in good condition with a number of metal-cut chisel points present. This site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous remains.
