The site (L 2.94m; Wth 0.44m; D 0.12m), in opposing drain faces, composed predominantly of two parallel roundwoods and a plank. Within a small area examined, the two roundwoods and the plank are orientated NNE-SSW, with two pieces of light brushwood set roughly at right angles. The pieces of light roundwood (and plank are loosely set 0.04-0.19m apart. The plank (L 2.3m; Wth 0.11m) was a tangential outer quarter split and was poorly preserved. The site is located on the field surface within moderately-humified peat which contains Phragmites, Menyanthes seeds and some ericaceous remains.
