The National Monuments Service's description
The site (Wth 3.59m; D 0.49m) is predominantly composed of light brushwood which is orientated N-S. The structure is densest at the NE end and in the centre, where it dips by up to 0.25m. Along this portion of the site, it consists of a dense band of brushwood (Wth 2m), up to thirteen pieces deep. On the SW side, the structure is formed of a thinner layer of heavier brushwood and a stone. The remains of two pegs are evident below the main body of the site, 1.2m from the NE end. Woodworking with a metal tool is attested on some of the elements and the wood is in good condition. Wood species include hazel, willow, alder, ash and birch. This site is located in moderately humified Sphagnum and Eriophorum peat. It is situated 2.5m to the SW of SMR WM039-357----.
