The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 8.7m min.; Wth 2.1m; D 0.07m) is orientated ENE-WSW and consists of light brushwood overlain by roundwoods. The majority of the elements are transversely and densely laid. Three pieces of brushwood appear to be longitudinally laid but this may be due to disturbance. The wood is in poor condition due to exposure and two chisel points are present. It lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with occasional Eriophorum. Radiocarbon dated to 1187-830 cal. BC (Wk-11723).
