The National Monuments Service's description
An irregular, dense deposit (Wth 0.44m min.; D 0.42m min.) of light brushwood. Some of the pieces are overlapping at right angles and the structure is up to four elements deep with most of the elements orientated NW-SE. The brushwood is fragmented and some of the elements have been displaced by machinery. The wood is in poor condition and is set in moderately humified Sphagnum peat containing fibrous roots. The site is located within a small cluster of sites and is within a 5m radius of SMR WM039-033---- to the NE and SMR WM039-112---- 3m to the SW, with SMR WM039-111---- and SMR WM039-113---- in the opposing drain face.
