The site (Wth 0.71m; D 0.05m) is orientated WNW-ESE and is composed of a dense deposit of generally light brushwood with occasional twigs in the drain face. The brushwood lies longitudinally and is 2-3 pieces deep. A number of pieces have metal-cut toolmarks. The site lies in poorly humified Sphagnum peat. It is located 1.7m NE of SMR OF007-272---- which occurs in a slightly higher peat stratum.
