The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 179.1m min.; Wth 1.46m; D 0.07m) is orientated NNW-SSE. It consists of a deposit of pale grey/brown silty clay and an uneven cobbled surface. Degraded wooden elements, possibly natural, are set longitudinally at the edge of the clay deposit at three sightings. Milling has substantially damaged the S end of the site. The site lies in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous wood fragments.
