An oak plank walkway (L 29.98m min.; Wth 0.54m; D 0.13m) orientated NNE-SSW. The site was examined at the central and most SW sightings. At the former, the structure survives as a half-split plank (Wth 0.145m) and a piece of light brushwood with an extensively fragmented plank 0.75m to the W. In the opposing drain face, there is a possible peg associated with the plank. This material is set in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with some Eriophorum. The most SW sighting consists of two planks, 0.32m apart, one of which is supported by two possible pegs and the other of which is underlain by two small roundwoods. The brushwood and the roundwoods were identified as alder, holly and willow. The site sits in well-humified Sphagnum peat containing some Phragmites. Dendrochronologically dated to AD 626±9 or later (Q9295).
