A single stake (L 0.43m min.; diam. 0.052m) set at 75° on the field surface. It was in poor condition and cut to a wedge point. Recorded by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin) in 2002. The evidence is not sufficient to warrant its acceptance as the remains of an archaeological monument. The original survey description was compiled by the Irish Archaeological Wetland Unit (University College, Dublin).

The site (L 20.2m min.; Wth 1.9m; D 0.13m) is orientated N-S and consists of longitudinal roundwoods set 1.2m apart, above which lie closely laid, transverse roundwoods. Pegs (diam. 0.04-0.06m) flank the edges of the site with one peg positioned in the centre. These are set at 45-90°. The wood is in good condition, although some upper surfaces have been damaged due to exposure. Woodworking is evidenced by branch-trimming and a wedge point cut with a metal tool. It lies in well-humified fen peat with Sphagnum and unidentified reeds. This site has been radiocarbon dated to 1937-1644 cal. BC (Wk-11713).
