The site (L 2.6m; Wth 1.29m min.; D 0.32m) consists of heavy brushwood, roundwoods, planks and occasional twigs and appears to be orientated NE-SW. The elements are transversely laid 3-4 pieces deep and 1-2 pieces wide. While the wood mostly forms a level platform, a small number of pieces lie above the general level of the site, resulting in an uneven surface. At the E edge of the site the wood is less compactly arranged. Evidence for woodworking with a metal tool is attested by the presence of a small number of chisel points and two tangentially split planks. Wood species include willow, birch, hazel, alder and ash. Radiocarbon dated to cal. AD 901-1159 (UCD-0148). The wood is in good condition and sits in moderately humified Sphagnum peat containing Eriophorum and fibrous roots. This site is 1.7m to the NE of the S end of SMR WM039-185---- and 1.3m SW of SMR WM039-323---- to which it may be related.
