The National Monuments Service's description
The site (Wth 1.35m; D 0.32m) consists of brushwood (diam. 0.025-0.04m) and occasional twigs. The majority of the wood is densely packed and laid parallel, with the heaviest elements dominating the upper portion of the site. It appears as though there are two separate deposits set 0.28m apart but this impression may be due to machine disturbance. To the W, the elements are parallel and tightly packed, while the pieces to the E are dispersed and less regular. There is no evidence for woodworking. The site is in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum. SMR OF010-430----, SMR OF010-434---- and SMR OF010-435---- are within a 1m radius of the site. SMR OF010-429---- lies to the N at a comparable level.
