The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 278.91m; Wth 0.7m; D 0.2m) is orientated N-S on the field and contains two structural layers. The substructure is composed of split timbers, roundwoods and brushwood, laid both longitudinally and transversely. The superstructure is composed of longitudinal planks and roundwoods. Planks (L 6m max.) are the predominant component of the superstructure. Pegs are utilised in places to secure the planks. The planks are both radially and tangentially split with flat and pointed ends. One of the planks has a broken or incomplete mortice. The site is in Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous remains. The site was dendrochronologically dated to 1411-1410 BC (Q9791). At one sighting SMR OF030-064---- is 0.3m below the site.
