The site (L 2.08m min.; Wth 1.73m; D 0.17m) is orientated N-S and consists of five separate layers. The basal layer (L 1.75m min.; Wth 0.72m; D 0.08m) consists of transverse brushwood and roundwoods. Above this is a layer (L 2.08m min.; Wth 1.18m; D 0.12m) of longitudinal brushwood and roundwoods. The third layer (L 1.56m min.; Wth 0.24m; D 0.03m) consists of very densely packed longitudinal brushwood. Above this, but only present on the E side of the site, lies a tightly packed bed of twigs (L 0.36m; Wth 0.34m; D 0.03m). The uppermost layer (L 1.17m min.; Wth 0.7m; D 0.04m) consists of densely laid transverse brushwood, up to three pieces deep. This layer has been subject to machine damage and is very degraded. The lower layers are in poor to moderate condition. Woodworking is evidenced by two toolmarks. This site lies in well-humified Sphagnum peat with some ericaceous remains.
