The site (L 7.05m; Wth 1.7m; D 0.28m) has a possible NW-SE orientation and consists of split timbers, brushwood and a single peg. Central to the site is a transverse timber (L 0.96m min.; Wth 0.4m; D 0.19m) which is tangentially split and has a damaged mortice at one end. Parallel and at a lower level to this are two smaller timbers and a vertical peg. The brushwood (diam. 0.017-0.037m) is irregularly laid. The wood is in moderate to good condition but the site has been severely disturbed by machinery. A single chisel point is present on a piece of brushwood. Dendrochronologically dated to 672.5±5 BC (Q10351). Approximately 1.9m W of the large plank are a number of smaller timbers (L 0.1-0.5m; Wth 0.06-0.14m). There are further displaced timber fragments on the E side of the site. The main body of this site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum. This site is believed to have formerly extended for a considerable distance in a N-S direction and may have formed part of SMR OF018-175---- (Mr J. Kilmurray, BnM, pers. comm.).
