The National Monuments Service's description
An irregular scatter (L 1.6m; Wth 1.1m; D 0.26m) of eighteen pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.02-0.05m) and some woodchips. The wood is fragmented and many of the elements have been displaced to a semi-upright position by machinery. The site sits in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with some Eriophorum and ericaceous remains.
