The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 1.78m min.; Wth 1.366m; D 0.04m) is composed of light brushwood and roundwoods. The overall orientation of the site is unclear, half of the elements are orientated NW-SE, while the others lie NE-SW. This may be due to machine damage, which is also evident in the poor condition and fragmentary nature of the wood. This site lies in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with some ericaceous remains.
