The National Monuments Service's description
The site (Wth 1.04m; D 0.19m) consists of a partial hurdle panel in the drain face. It consists of two sails with crudely interwoven light brushwood rods, secured by three pegs. Most of the rods run beneath the sails. The central area of the panel is less intact and appears to have been damaged in antiquity. Longitudinal elements on the NW side appear to delimit the site and may have been disturbed from the main body of the structure. The site is located in fen peat within a cluster of sites, 0.26m above SMR OF018-043----, 0.25m SE of SMR OF018-042----, 1.8m NW of SMR OF018-044---- and 4.8m SE of SMR OF018-045----.
