The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 10.9m min.; Wth 0.74m; D 0.07m) is orientated NNE-SSW evident at two sightings. At the NE extent the site consists of compactly set, longitudinally laid roundwoods (diam. 0.6m) with some pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.01-0.042m) and twigs used to fill the voids in the structure. Only one degraded tool mark was recorded. The site is within poorly humified Sphagnum with Eriophorum and ericaceous remains and occasional Menyanthes seeds. To the SSW the site was similarly constructed but in poorer condition and disappears toward an area of high bog, located in the centre of this bog.
