The site (L 14.4m min.; Wth 1.394m; D 0.166m) is orientated NW-SE in the drain face and on the adjacent field surface At one sighting it consists of a dense bed of light brushwood and twigs overlain by heavy brushwood and a single roundwood. All the elements are transversely laid apart from the roundwood and a single piece of heavy brushwood, which are longitudinally laid. In another location, at a slightly lower level, it consists of longitudinal brushwood, a single roundwood and a peg. This material is very fragmentary due to milling and exposure. Woodworking is evidenced by a degraded chisel point. It lies in poorly humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous remains. Radiocarbon dated to 1683-1409 cal. BC (Wk-11724).
