The National Monuments Service's description
The site (Wth 1.1m; D 0.12m) consists of compact light brushwood in the drain face. More than fifty pieces of brushwood are present, laid 4-5 pieces deep, set at approximately right angles to one another. It appears to be laid as two separate concentrations side-by-side but this appearance may be the result of milling activity dislodging some elements. Woodworking is evidenced by two worked points, one of which is a wedge point. The site is situated in well-humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous remains.
