The site (L 1.36m min.; Wth 0.91m; D 0.34m) is orientated NNW-SSE and consists of longitudinally laid mixed brushwood, a light roundwood and occasional twigs. The elements are closely spaced and a degraded metal-cut chisel point was noted. The wood is in poor to moderate condition and set in well-humified Sphagnum peat.
