The National Monuments Service's description
Broken pieces of interspersed brushwood and roundwood (L 12m; Wth 0.94m; D 0.07m) traced across the field in a NE-SW direction. Where examined, the site consists of longitudinally laid irregular pieces of brushwood and roundwood (diam. 0.02-0.055m). Two small pegs (diam. 0.02-0.03m), mark the limit of the site to the N. The wood is in poor condition with no wood working evident. The site is located within poorly humified Sphagnum peat, with some traces of Eriophorum, ericaceous remains and Menyanthes seeds, 8.46m N of a deposit of bog iron.
