The National Monuments Service's description
Four pieces of light brushwood orientated NNE-SSW (L 0.93m; Wth 0.46m; D 0.14m). A single toolmark was noted. The site sits in poorly to moderately humified Sphagnum peat which contains Eriophorum and some fibrous remains. A further spread of material is situated 15.8m to the SW which may be associated with this site, including two large roundwoods, which share the orientation of the brushwood, and a small number pieces of light brushwood. SMR WM039-362---- and SMR WM039-363---- are located to the SW.
