The National Monuments Service's description
The site (L 0.94m min.; Wth 0.83m min.; D 0.16m) is composed of densely packed light brushwood, 2-3 pieces deep, and occasional twigs. The elements are mostly irregularly laid and a clear orientation is not evident. Some of the pieces are laid parallel to one another or perpendicular. Two pieces have chisel points and branch-trimming is evident on another. Wood species are dominated by hazel, with ash also recorded. The site is situated in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with possible Menyanthes seeds.
