The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 4.68m; Wth 1.41m; D 0.1m) is orientated NE-SW and consists of closely spaced, longitudinal, mixed brushwood, light roundwoods and a bed of twigs. The lighter brushwood and the twig bed are centrally placed with the larger elements at either edge. The wood is machine damaged but is in a good condition. It lies in well-humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous remains.
