The National Monuments Service's description
A dispersed deposit (Wth 2.2m; D 0.42m) of irregularly laid brushwood (diam. 0.018-0.038m) and two stakes. The stakes are set 0.92m apart toward the SW end of the deposit but do not seem to form part of the structure of the site. The wood is in poor condition. The site is located in moderately humified Sphagnum peat containing ericaceous remains but it is not clear if all of the material lies within the same peat layers and is therefore contemporary. SMR WM039-246---- is located 2.1m to the NE.
