The site (L 40.677m; Wth 2.5m; D 0.24m) is orientated NW-SE and composed of brushwood, roundwoods and twigs. The brushwood (diam. 0.012-0.047m) up to eight pieces deep and is mostly irregularly laid. In some locations it is both longitudinally and transversely laid, 3-4 pieces deep. Roundwoods and twigs are dispersed among the brushwood. A number of light brushwood uprights are also noted scattered throughout the site. The wood is frequently forked and branch-like and shows evidence for tearing and splitting. Numerous pieces also attest woodworking with a metal tool and are predominantly cut to chisel points. Wood species include hazel, willow, ash, birch and alder. The site crosses a number of peat types, but lies mainly on a moderately to well-humified Sphagnum peat with pockets of fibrous roots and Eriophorum. It tends to be overlain by a poorly humified Sphagnum peat. SMR WM039-247---- is located 1.7m to the NE of the S end of this site. Date of upload: 13 August 2013
