The National Monuments Service's description
An irregular deposit (L 1.4m; Wth 1.1m; D 0.3m) of eleven pieces of light brushwood and some twigs in the drain face. The brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.04m) is in poor condition. Two of the pieces have been cut to chisel points. Most of the wood is set in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with some Eriophorum and ericaceous roots. The uppermost wood in the site is set in a small hollow of poorly humified Sphagnum peat with some Eriophorum and ericaceous roots. This is one of a number of possibly related sites forming a line running in a NW-SE direction across the bog including SMR WM039-055---- and SMR WM039-133---- located 17m to the E.
