The National Monuments Service's description
A deposit (Wth 1.47m min.; D 0.37m min.) of light brushwood, roundwoods and twigs. The brushwood (diam. 0.06-0.18m) is 4-5 pieces deep and occurs in clusters. The elements lie principally in an ENE-WSW direction. A single upright piece at the top of the site but this and a plank towards the NE end of the site appear to be part of SMR WM039-095----. The pieces are short in length suggesting disturbance. The wood is in poor condition and sits in well-humified Sphagnum peat containing Eriophorum and ericaceous remains.
