Three pieces of heavy brushwood in opposing drain faces (Wth 1.5m; D 0.15m) which are widely spaced and have no apparent structure. Woodworking is evidenced by a chisel point. The site is situated in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum. A leather shoe (02E148:74), was recovered from the W field surface above this site.
