The National Monuments Service's description

A dense deposit (L 1.88m min.; Wth 0.68m min.; D 0.07m min.) of over eighty pieces of mostly light brushwood and occasional twigs on the field surface. The pieces are closely set, overlap and are up to three pieces deep. Most of the elements are orientated E-W and the remainder are orientated N-S. The overall orientation of the site is indiscernible. Two pieces of heavy brushwood, orientated N-S, are situated at the N limit of the site. The condition of the wood is variable with a wedge point evident on one of the pieces. The site is in moderately humified Sphagnum and Eriophorum peat. It is possible that this site may be a hurdle given that the majority of the elements are uniform in size and are both straight and regular. SMR OF010-438---- is 4.47m to the S.
