The National Monuments Service's description
A sparse arrangement of mixed brushwood and a roundwood (L 4.08m; Wth 1.75m; D 0.11m). A number of the pieces lie in a NE-SW direction with a smaller number lying almost perpendicular to these. The site may have been more substantial prior to machine-damage. A number of chisel points indicate woodworking. The site is in poorly humified Sphagnum and Eriophorum peat. It is located 1.4m SW of SMR WM039-269---- and is comparable in form to SMR WM039-267---- to the N.
