The National Monuments Service's description
A deposit of roundwoods, brushwood, occasional twigs and a peg (L 1.1m; Wth 1.07m; D 0.26m) on the field surface. The majority of the elements are closely spaced, orientated NNW-SSE and are longitudinally laid. There is no discernible substructure, the different elements being interspersed to form a layer approximately four pieces deep with the heaviest pieces concentrated towards the centre. Some pieces have been broken and displaced as a result of milling. Metal-cut toolmarks are evident on one piece of brushwood and on one roundwood. The site is in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Phragmites and many Menyanthes seeds.
