The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 4.1m min.; Wth 1.14m min.; D 0.13m min.) is orientated WNW-ESE and is constructed of five roundwoods, which are closely and longitudinally laid. At the NE extent of the site is a single transverse roundwood. Scattered throughout are occasional irregularly laid, light brushwood and twigs. The elements are in good condition with a metal-cut pencil point present. The main body of the site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with a high amount of Eriophorum and some Calluna. Overlying this material are two roundwoods orientated NE-SW. One is extremely decayed, the other has intact bark and is similar to a tree trunk.
