The National Monuments Service's description
This platform (Wth 5.1m; T 0.3m) was located approximately 20m NE of platform (RO030-027----) and was visible in a drain face, 0.20m below the field surface. It was composed of poorly preserved irregularly laid roundwood and brushwood laid up to 0.32m apart. The roundwood and brushwood ranged from 0.06 to 0.14m and from 0.01 to 0.05m in diameter, respectively. The underlying peat was composed of moderately humified Sphagnum-rich peat with occasional Eriophorum and Calluna inclusions.
