The site (L 16.204m; Wth 1.54m; D 0.27m) is orientated E-W and is composed of a plank superstructure on a substructure of planks, roundwoods and brushwood in the drain faces of two adjacent drains. The superstructure consists of transverse oak planks (Wth 1.54m; D 0.09m). The substructure (Wth. 1.08m; D 0.18m) consists of longitudinal oak planks with transverse split roundwoods and brushwood. Woodworking is evidenced by a superstructural plank with a possible mortice and by metal-cut chisel, wedge and pencil points on a number of elements. One of the substructural planks is radially split. It is situated in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous remains. The site has been dendrochronologically dated to 925±9 BC (Q9519). SMR OF007-087---- is located c. 5m to the N and SMR OF007-108---- is located c. 3m to the S.
