The National Monuments Service's description
A small group of mixed brushwood and roundwoods on the field surface (L 1.65m min.; Wth 0.56m; D 0.35m). The roundwoods (diam.0.06-0.1m) are predominantly orientated N-S. One roundwood lies perpendicular to these and some of the brushwood lies at irregular angles. The elements are closely set and are one piece deep. One roundwood is worked at both ends to chisel points. The wood is in poor condition and sits in poorly humified Sphagnum peat containing fibrous roots.
