The National Monuments Service's description
A large, linear arrangement of brushwood and twigs on the field surface (L 5m min.; Wth 1.2m; D 0.1m) with the elements orientated NE-SW. The brushwood (diam. 0.01-0.06m) consists of two branches with some of the side branches attached. Woodworking is evident on some of the heavier pieces. The wood is in good condition, with some recent machine damage and desiccation. The peat around this material appears to be disturbed, mostly redeposited and compressed with fibrous remains. The deposit appears to continue 3m to the NE and a similar deposit lies 30-40m to the N.
