The National Monuments Service's description
Three pieces of sparsely arranged, mixed brushwood on the field surface (Wth 1.08m; D 0.06m), one of which is ex situ. The pieces lie in an approximately N-S direction but there is no indication of a clear structure. One piece has been cut to a wedge point and shows evidence for branch-trimming. The wood is in poor condition and sits in moderately humified Sphagnum peat.
