The National Monuments Service's description
A large deposit (L 2.3m min.; Wth 2.8m; D 0.9m) of mixed brushwood, a roundwood, a radially split timber, twigs and four possible pegs. The material is irregularly laid, unevenly spaced and has no discernible orientation. The twigs occur individually and in beds. The upright elements are set at angles between 60-80° and two have been converted, one to a radial-split, the other to a squared quarter-split. Various other elements have been cut to chisel points. The site is situated in poorly to moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous roots.
