The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on flat bogland. Excavation revealed a small platform built in two phases, the first consisting of a small area (dims. 6-7m E-W x 6m N-S) covered with an irregularly laid layer of roundwood and brushwood which may have acted as a foundation layer for the overlying platform. This secondary feature consisted of a larger area (dims. 8-10m E-W x 6.5m N-S) covered with a heavier layer of irregularly laid roundwood. Both layers of roundwood were held in place by irregularly spaced pegs. A possible yew shaft for a socketed spearhead was found lying horizontally in the lowest level of the platform. (Cross 1999, Killoran 237, 77-8)
