The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L c. 0.7m; Wth 0.56m; D 0.25m) is orientated N-S and consists of an irregular arrangement of brushwood (diam. 0.01-0.05m) generally laid longitudinally but with several obliquely-laid examples. The structure is fourteen pieces of brushwood wide and three-four layers deep. Hazel and birch were identified. Three pegs were recorded, one of which supported the eastern side of the structure. The other pair (L 0.25-0.49m) lay 0.5m beyond the western side of the site. All of the peg ends are worked to chisel points.
