The National Monuments Service's description
The site (Wth 3.6m; D 0.16m) is composed of irregularly laid brushwood and twigs and has an unclear orientation. The brushwood is 2-3 pieces deep and the twigs occur in small beds. A number of almost vertical pieces may indicate the presence of pegs within the site. The wood is densest towards the centre of the site over a width of 1.5m. To the NE of this concentration are a number of sparse, light brushwood uprights. Several metal-cut chisel points are present. Wood species include hazel, willow and alder. The site lies in moderately humified peat composed of Sphagnum, Eriophorum and fibrous roots. A hazelnut is also recorded from the central part of the site.
