The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 1.2m; Wth 0.6m; D 0.23m) is orientated NW-SE and is composed of regular brushwood orientated on the field surface. The brushwood (diam. 0.015-0.041m) is largely aligned longitudinally and are up to two pieces deep. A single peg is recorded. It has been substantially disturbed by milling and may originally have been more extensive. One piece shows evidence for woodworking. Wood species include hazel and Pomoideae. The site sits in moderately humified Sphagnum and Eriophorum peat.
