An irregular deposit (L 2.57m min.; Wth 1.54m; D 0.15m;) of 28 pieces of brushwood (diam. 0.01‑0.035m), two roundwoods (diam. 0.065‑0.075m) and six uprights. The uprights were set at angles of 45‑90°. The wood was in a moderate condition with between 5 -100% bark remaining and metal‑cut toolmarks present on several pieces. The deposit lay 0.35m above the ENE edge of a togher (LF004‑004‑‑‑‑) and c. 2m NW of another deposit (LF004‑047‑‑‑‑), which was at the same level. A single piece of ash from the structure was radiocarbon dated revealing a date range of cal AD 640‑860 (WK‑20950) (Moore and O’Connor 2009a, 17, EDC 2).
