The National Monuments Service's description
A sparse arrangement of mixed brushwood and a single roundwood in opposing drain faces (Wth 1.1m; D 0.46m). The majority of pieces lie in a N-S direction but do not form a coherent structure. The wood is most dense towards the NE (Wth 0.4m; D 0.419m) with three outlying pieces to the SW. The wood is in good condition and sits in poorly humified Sphagnum peat containing Eriophorum and Calluna stems and leaves.
