The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 12.9m min.; Wth 3.3m; D 0.1m min.) is orientated N-S and consists of mixed brushwood, roundwoods, twig beds, pegs and a single post. The brushwood is irregularly deposited, up to four pieces deep, amongst which lie three longitudinal roundwoods. Four pegs (diam. 0.02-0.05m), two at each edge of the site, are set at 20-90° angles. There is a vertical post (diam. 0.08m) in the centre of the site. Woodworking is evidenced by two metal-cut chisel points. This site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and Calluna.
