The site (Wth 1.24m; D 0.49m) is composed of three layers, the upper one of which may represent a separate phase. The lowest layer (Wth 0.88m; D 0.15m) consists of brushwood (diam. 0.036-0.056m), a split timber, twigs and two pegs. The brushwood forms two bundles, 0.46m apart at each side of the site and includes a quarter-split timber. The middle layer (Wth 1.13m; D 0.2m) consists of irregularly laid brushwood (diam. 0.025-0.05m), a high amount of twigs and four pegs. The twigs occur both in beds and scattered throughout the brushwood. The upper layer (Wth 0.68m; D 0.14m) consists of closely set, parallel heavy brushwood, some twigs and a peg. Wood species include alder, willow, hazel, birch, Pomoideae and holly. The wood is in good condition with evidence for woodworking. Radiocarbon dated to cal. AD 775-1000 (UCD-0147). The two lower layers of the site occur in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum, ericaceous roots and a large amount of fibrous roots. The upper layer is set in very similar peat but with less fibrous roots. SMR WM039-208---- is located 3m to the SW.
