The National Monuments Service's description
A dispersed deposit of over fifteen pieces of mixed brushwood (Wth 0.88m; D 0.41m). The densest concentration of material is on the SW side of the site, where three overlapping pieces of brushwood and a single stone are recorded. In general, the larger elements are located at the top of the deposit and are up to 0.26m apart. These are interspersed by some very light pieces of brushwood and twigs which occur throughout the deposit. A metal-cut toolmark was noted. The site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum and Eriophorum peat with some fibrous remains. SMR WM039-358---- is situated 2.5m to the NE.
