The elements were machine damaged and broken along their lengths. Sighting A consisted of a single brushwood peg visible on the field surface. The peg had a wedge point toolmarked end with three flat facets. Sighting B comprised of four fragmentary brushwood elements exposed on the field surface which were orientated N-S. The site was situated in poor to moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Menyanthes inclusions (Whitaker 2014). A fragment of hazel was chosen for AMS dating and returned a result of cal. 21 BC–126 AD (UBA 26604).
