The site (L 1.92m min.; Wth 0.97m; D 0.09m) has an apparent N-S orientation and consists of densely packed light brushwood on the field surface. The elements are set parallel and up to two pieces deep with a heavy brushwood outlier 0.79m to the S, extending the overall width of the site. Within the main concentration of material (L 1.07m min.; Wth 0.47m) the elements are longitudinally laid and are fragmented. Two chisel points and one wedge point are evident. The site is in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Phragmites and possible Menyanthes seeds. Radiocarbon dated to 1365-919 cal. BC (UCD 0219). This is one of a number of sites running along the line of a possible palaeo-channel orientated in a N direction across the bog, including SMR OF010-396---- to the N. SMR OF010-467----, 2.14m to the S, is 0.66m below SMR OF010-458---- and SMR OF010-469----, 3.31m to the S, is 0.23m below this site in the opposite drain face.
