The site (L 37.6m min.; Wth 2.27m; D 0.39m) is orientated N-S and consists of brushwood (diam. 0.012-0.06m) and roundwoods (diam. 0.062-0.1m). The majority of the elements are densely packed and longitudinally laid but composition and scale (Wth 0.98-2.27m) is slightly variable along its length. At the initial sighting the brushwood and roundwoods are densely packed and longitudinally laid, while twigs are deposited as two discrete beds at the center and W extent of the site. There are a small number of irregularly laid pieces, two of which sit outside the main concentration. Woodworking is evidenced by four pieces with metal-cut toolmarks and a split timber at the central sighting. The site is in well-humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum and ericaceous remains.
