The National Monuments Service's description
A small area of light brushwood on the field surface (L 0.73m min.; Wth 0.2m min.; D 0.15m). Two pieces are orientated N-S and a third piece is located c. 0.25m from their N ends at a right angle to them. There is no indication of a clear structure but the site may be the remains of a more substantial feature. A single toolmark is recorded but is in a very degraded condition. The wood is in moderate condition and sits in poorly humified Sphagnum peat containing abundant fibrous roots.
