The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 15.96m; Wth 1.33m; D 0.06m min.) is orientated NE-SW and is composed of light brushwood, a small twig bed and occasional twigs. The elements are well spaced and very irregularly laid, probably partially due to disturbance. The wood is in moderate condition with woodworking evidenced by a chisel point. At a second location, the site is more substantial and consists of heavy brushwood which is transversely laid but well spaced. This site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum.
