The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 0.4m min.; Wth 2.11m; D 0.1m) is formed of pieces of brushwood with some twigs and roundwoods orientated roughly E-W, immediately below the field surface. Within the area examined it consists of two deposits of brushwood, twigs and a roundwood set 0.2-0.3m apart. The N deposit is denser and the S side more dispersed and fragmented. A single tool marked roundwood had been worked to a pencil point with a metal tool. This material was located within moderately humified Sphagnum peat with frequent Phragmites and occasional ericaceous remains.
