The National Monuments Service's description

The site (L 0.56m min.; Wth 1.58m min.; D 0.16m) consists of a quite dense spread of brushwood and twigs. The brushwood (diam. 0.015-0.045m) is up to four pieces deep. While some elements are irregularly laid, many of the pieces lie in a N-S direction with a smaller number more widely set at right angles to these. The overall site orientation is unclear. A small number of pieces show evidence for woodworking. The wood is in moderate condition and sits in poorly humified Sphagnum peat containing Eriophorum and some ericaceous remains. This is one of six closely situated sites along an 11m length of drain, including SMR WM039-259---- adjacent to the site to the NE and SMR WM039-260---- in the opposing drain face.
