The National Monuments Service's description
Three pieces of brushwood in opposing drain faces (L 0.15m min.; Wth 0.78m). The brushwood (diam. 0.01-0.045m) is irregularly laid and has no apparent structure although two pieces share a N-S orientation. One piece has been cut to a chisel point. The site is situated in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with fibrous and ericaceous roots. It is the most N site in a small cluster and lies within 3.5m of SMR WM039-034----, SMR WM039-110---- and SMR WM039-111----.
