Two parallel planks, roundwoods and pieces of brushwood with occasional twigs (L 8.2m; Wth 0.96m; D 0.1m), orientated NE-SW evident at two separate sightings. The site was examined near the NE extent where the components are longitudinally laid and secured in place with two pegs. This material was overlain by a small deposit of branch wood and roundwoods on the SW side of the site. The planks (L 3.5m min.; Wth 10.1-19.7m) are an irregular inner split and an outer tangential split and the pieces of brushwood and roundwoods are mixed. The site is located within poorly humified and laminated peat that contained Phragmites and Menyanthes seeds. This site has been radiocarbon dated to 1734-1440 cal. BC (UCD-9956).
