The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 2m min.; Wth 0.4m min.; D 0.45m min.) is orientated N-S and consists of over twenty pieces of mixed brushwood, occasional twigs and a single post. The elements are irregularly deposited up to six pieces deep. This material extends below the water level. The site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with fibrous roots. SMR OF018-063----, an irregular, deep deposit of brushwood, lies 0.8m to the SW and due to their irregular nature the sites may be associated. SMR OF018-062---- is 3.2m to the W.
