The National Monuments Service's description
A dispersed deposit (Wth 3.1m; D 0.57m) of twelve pieces of brushwood and four roundwoods. The roundwoods (diam. 0.07-0.09m) are concentrated at the top of the deposit and orientated N-S. The heavier pieces of brushwood are similarly distributed toward the top of the deposit. The lighter brushwood and twigs are below these in groups of 3-4 elements. The wood is in moderate condition and a single toolmark is present. The site is located in moderately humified Sphagnum and Eriophorum peat.
