The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 1.5m min.; Wth 2.14m; D 0.2m) is orientated NNE-SSW and consists of brushwood (diam. 0.01-0.06m), roundwoods (diam. 0.085m max.) and twigs. The elements are closely spaced and the majority of the wood is longitudinally laid. A number of roundwoods are set perpendicular to these but their position may be due to machine disturbance. Occasional twigs are scattered on top of the other elements. A number of pieces have metal-cut chisel points. The site is in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with some ericaceous remains.
