The National Monuments Service's description
Six pieces of light brushwood, occasional twigs and three pegs (Wth 0.89m; D 0.3m). The elements are irregularly laid 1-2 pieces deep and are unevenly spaced. The pegs are set between 70-90° and do not appear to support any more than 1-2 pieces of brushwood. Woodworking is evidenced by branch-trimming on one of the pegs. The site is situated in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous roots and wood fragments. SMR WM039-268---- is located c. 1m to the S and SMR WM039-295---- is located c. 3m to the NE.
