The National Monuments Service's description
A post row (L 127.41m) orientated NNE-SSW consisting of irregularly spaced posts. Occasionally two posts are set together. A number of horizontal elements present along the length of the site may have been disturbed by milling. One sighting consists of three horizontal roundwoods and a single peg set at 45°. The roundwoods are widely spaced over 7m, orientated approximately NE-SW, with the peg in close proximity to the N roundwood. One of the roundwoods has been cut to a chisel point at one end and a pencil point at the other. Two posts at separate sightings were also cut to pencil points with a metal tool.
