The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 3.25m min.; Wth 1.42m; D 0.05m) is orientated NNW-SSE and consists of longitudinal roundwoods overlying similar transverse elements. Irregularly laid brushwood and twigs are also present. Most of the wood has been milled and is fragmented and decaying. The site lies in poorly to moderately humified Sphagnum peat with ericaceous remains and woody roots.
