The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 3.9m min.; Wth 2.52m min.; D 0.22m) is orientated N-S and consists of heavy brushwood (diam. 0.025-0.06m), some roundwoods (diam. 0.075m) and twigs on the field surface. The wood is longitudinally laid. An upper layer may have been removed from this site. Two crude chisel points are evident. The wood is in good condition and set in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with some Eriophorum and ericaceous remains. This site and SMR OF010-446----, 4.5m to the E, may have formed part of a larger structure orientated E-W.
