The site (L 22.2m min.; Wth 3.46m min.; D 0.4m) is orientated NNE-SSW and consists of roundwoods, brushwood, one timber and twigs. At the N end most of the roundwoods (diam. 0.065-0.12m) are longitudinally laid in the upper part of the site and set approximately 0.3m apart. Underlying the roundwoods in the central portion of the site are brushwood, twigs and woody matter below which is an irregular scatter of brushwood (av. diam. 0.03m). There is an irregular, half-split timber on the W side of the site beyond which there is a horizon of natural wood. The wood is in moderate condition and set in well-humified Sphagnum peat with fibrous roots and twigs. The S end the site is less substantial (Wth 2.3m) and composed of brushwood and a single roundwood. This is one of a number of sites running along the line of a possible palaeo-channel orientated in a N direction across the bog, which includes SMR OF010-383---- 20m to the S.
