The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 2m min.; Wth 1.76m; D 0.35m) consists of brushwood, laid 6-8 pieces deep, and four pegs. The pieces are closely spaced, orientated ENE-WSW and are transversely laid. There are a number of longitudinal pieces bounding the S edge of the site. The pegs tend to be located near the outer limits of the deposit and are set at angles ranging from 70-90°. Woodworking is evidenced by a number of metal-cut chisel points and break-and-tear marks. A single piece has a wedge point.
