The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 1.96m min.; Wth 0.96m; D 0.07m) is orientated NE-SW and composed of mixed brushwood and roundwoods. The elements are predominantly arranged longitudinally and closely set, with occasional transverse elements set slightly apart. A small number of stakes occur through the site. The wood has been substantially disturbed by milling and is in poor condition. Woodworking is evidenced by metal-cut chisel points. The site sits in well-humified Sphagnum peat containing frequent Eriophorum. It is located 4.6m E of SMR OF018-089---- and is in the vicinity of SMR OF018-086----.
