The National Monuments Service's description
Three pieces of light brushwood (Wth 0.78m; D 0.15m). The pieces (diam. 0.02-0.03m) are irregularly positioned. The end of one piece has been cut to a chisel point. The wood is situated in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with some Eriophorum and ericaceous roots. A small, displaced fragment of desiccated leather (92E148:78) was recovered from the opposing drain face. This is one of a number of possibly related sites forming a line running in a NW-SE direction across the bog, including SMR WM039-054---- and SMR WM039-145---- located 14m to the E and SMR WM039-053---- 16m to the W.
