The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 1.36m min.; Wth 1.16m; D 0.32m) consists of three roundwoods (diam. 0.074-0.135m) and brushwood (diam. 0.012-0.049m), orientated NNE-SSW. The wood is generally widely spaced and longitudinally laid but the brushwood is more closely set. Woodworking is not evident. The site lies in well-humified Sphagnum peat with fibrous roots.
