The National Monuments Service's description
The site (Wth 2.88m; D 0.5m) consists of a compact group of irregular brushwood, roundwoods and occasional twigs. The brushwood (diam. 0.015-0.045m) is up to three pieces deep. The heavier elements tend to be concentrated towards the centre of the site. Woodworking is attested by a single piece cut to a chisel point. The site sits in poorly humified Sphagnum peat containing ericaceous remains and Eriophorum. SMR WM039-332---- is adjacent to this site to the SE and SMR WM039-333---- and SMR WM039-202---- are within 1.7m of the same side.
