The site (Wth 0.7m; D 0.05m) is orientated WNW-ESE and consists of a deposit of light longitudinal brushwood, laid two pieces deep, on the field surface. Occasional pegs set at angles of 40° are also present, one of which has a decayed chisel point. The site has been extensively damaged by milling.
