The National Monuments Service's description
The site (Wth 2.4m; D 0.25m) is orientated E-W and composed of a superstructure of large transverse roundwoods (diam. 0.15-0.2m), some of which are split. The substructure consists of a small number of longitudinally laid roundwoods and brushwood (diam. 0.025-0.07m) and some pegs. The ends of several transverses are worked into wedge and pencil points. Oak and ash are the predominant species present with some pieces of birch and alder.
