The site (L 15.81m min.; Wth 3.5m; D 0.12m) is orientated NNW-SSE and consists of brushwood (diam. 0.03-0.05m), roundwoods (diam. 0.06-0.12m) and twigs. At one sighting, it is composed of two layers of material. The basal layer consists of transverse roundwoods laid one piece deep. Overlying this is a densely packed layer of longitudinally and irregularly laid brushwood and roundwoods, laid two pieces deep. Twigs are deposited throughout this layer as discrete beds. At another sighting, it is composed of a single layer of brushwood and roundwoods. Woodworking is evidenced by a number of metal-cut chisel points. The site is situated in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with ericaceous remains. SMR OF010-429---- lies to the N at a comparable level.
