The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 4m; Wth 2m; D 0.12m) consists of a very compact arrangement of longitudinal roundwoods (diam. 0.06-0.09m) and light brushwood (av. diam. 0.03m) of ash and birch. A single peg was noted. An outlying roundwood with a finely worked end lay W of the main concentration. The sides of this roundwood were trimmed and the end cut to a chisel point.
