The National Monuments Service's description
The site (Wth 1.6m; D 0.24m) consists of a dense band of mixed brushwood, twigs and a roundwood. The majority of pieces lie in a NW-SE direction, with a small number sitting perpendicular to these. The twigs occur occasionally throughout the site but form a bed towards the NE and are irregularly laid. Some outlying pieces of brushwood are noted on both sides of the site but may be natural in origin. There is evidence for woodworking and branch-trimming but the toolmarks are degraded. The site sits in well-humified Sphagnum peat containing occasional Eriophorum. The site is located 2.4m to the NE of SMR WM039-084----.
