An irregular deposit (Wth 0.82m; D 0.13m) of four pieces of brushwood and two stakes. The brushwood (diam. 0.015-0.05m) is located on the S side of the side of the site. The stakes (diam. 0.017-0.021m) are 0.21m to the N and 10.09m apart. Toolmarks are evident on a piece of brushwood. The wood is in good condition and in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with occasional fibrous roots. SMR OF010-091---- is 0.027m above this site in a different peat layer.
