The National Monuments Service's description
Ten timbers and off-splits (L 1.5m min.; Wth 0.39m; D 0.06m) orientated NE-SW on the field surface. The planks (L 0.73m max.) are closely set, overlapping each other. They appear to be radially split, with some trimming. The wood is in poor condition as a result of milling and sits in well-humified Sphagnum and Eriophorum peat.
