The National Monuments Service's description
A concentrated deposit of longitudinally placed pieces of brushwood, twigs and a roundwood (L 6.5m; Wth 0.56m; D 0.12m), orientated in a NE-SW on the field surface. Twigs infilled the small voids between the pieces of roundwood. No evidence of woodworking was recorded as the ends of the pieces were broken and part of the structure may have been removed by peat milling. The site is in moderately-humified Sphagnum peat which contained ericaceous remains and some Menyanthes seeds. The site has been radiocarbon dated to 1734-1449 cal. BC (UCD-9932).
