The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 1.85m min.; Wth 1.35m min.; D 0.06m) consists of brushwood (diam. 0.011-0.05m), one roundwood (diam. 0.084m), occasional twigs and a peg. The elements are densely packed, set one/two pieces deep and are both regularly and irregularly laid. The majority of the elements are orientated WNW-ESE with a number of pieces set perpendicular to them; however, the overall orientation of the site is unclear. There are a number of other upright elements in the deposit but their position may be due to machine disturbance. Only one element, a peg set at 50°, appears to be a definite upright. Worked wood was noted when the site was first identified but was not evident during the recording stage. Milling had taken place prior to recording and may have destroyed any woodworking evidence. The site is in well-humified Sphagnum peat.
