The National Monuments Service's description
A spread (L 4.5m min.; Wth 1.5m; D 0.2m) of mixed brushwood, laid two pieces deep. The brushwood is widely spaced and irregularly laid. The long axis of the site has an approximate E-W orientation but on the whole, the site appears to curve in a NNE-SSW direction. Woodworking is evidenced by chisel points, a pencil point and by branch-trimming on one piece. The site is situated in poorly to moderately humified Sphagnum peat.
