What is recorded here
The site (L 30m min.; Wth 3.49m; D 0.04m) is orientated ENE-WSW. At the ENE extent it consists of over sixty pieces of transverse light brushwood laid up to three pieces in depth on the field surface. Longitudinal light brushwood and pegs set at 75-90° bound the edges of the site. The wood is very fragmentary due to machine damage and exposure and it lies in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with ericaceous remains. At the WSW extent the site consists of nine widely spaced longitudinal pieces of brushwood c. 0.4m below the field surface in the drain face and is in good condition.
