The National Monuments Service's description
The site (Wth 2.35m; D 0.4m) consists of a compact arrangement of brushwood. All the pieces are orientated in a NE-SW direction but it is not possible to determine the orientation of the site. The brushwood (diam. 0.025-0.035m) is laid five pieces deep. The main concentration of wood has a depth of c. 0.1m but the overall depth of the site is exaggerated by the presence of two pieces slightly below the site. A similar outlying piece is recorded 0.2m from the SW edge of the site. One piece shows evidence for woodworking. The site is situated in moderately humified Sphagnum and Eriophorum peat containing ericaceous remains.
