The brushwood (diam. 0.01-0.02m) is denser on the E side of the site and the twigs and three stakes are scattered throughout. A number of pieces of brushwood have metal toolmarks. The wood is in poor condition and is set in well humified Sphagnum peat with some Eriophorum and possibly intrusive fibrous roots.
