The National Monuments Service's description
An arrangement of brushwood, a roundwood and twigs (L 3.4m min.; Wth 1.2m; D 0.1m). The pieces tend to lie in an E-W direction but there is no indication of a clear structure. The wood is generally in poor condition. Woodworking is attested by the presence of a chisel and a wedge point. The site is located in poorly humified Sphagnum peat.
