The National Monuments Service's description

An irregular spread of brushwood recorded at two sightings on the field surface (L 34.06m). At the SW sighting, the site consists of a degraded piece of light brushwood. At the NE sighting, a spread of four milled pieces of brushwood is recorded. This site is part of a disturbed complex of material located on the field surface in this area of the bog. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 1996. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument.

The original survey description was compiled by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin). Assessed and revised by: Caimin O'Brien, Paul Walsh
