It was orientated NE-SW and was composed of poorly preserved regularly laid roundwood and brushwood longitudinals laid up to two elements deep and 0.03 to 0.18m apart. The roundwood and brushwood ranged from 0.07 to 0.10m and from 0.025 to 0.045m in diameter, respectively. The underlying peat was composed of moderately humified Sphagnum-rich peat with moderate Calluna and Eriophorum inclusions.
