The National Monuments Service's description

The site (L 2m min.; Wth 1.8m; D 0.2m) consists of a deposit of brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.05m), laid four pieces deep, and two roundwoods (diam. 0.09-0.12m) on the field surface The elements are irregularly laid and lack a coherent structure. No woodworking is evident. The site is situated in well-humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum. A line of four stakes located 4m to the SE was initially recorded as part of the site but they most likely constitutes a separate structure.
