The site (L 1.55m; Wth 1.2m; D 0.06m) appears to be orientated NE-SW and consists of a hurdle panel and a single roundwood on the field surface. Fifteen rods (diam. 0.015-0.03m), and one sail (diam. 0.03m) are evident. The roundwood is located 0.15m SW of the hurdle. It lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum.
