Two small roundwood pegs, each with carefully worked ends and leaning inward towards one another, are essentially all that survives. They sit just 0.77 metres apart, and the better-preserved of the two reaches 1.7 metres in length with a diameter of around eight or nine centimetres. In themselves they look like very little. But their angle, their spacing, and the traces around them suggest they once formed the substructure of something considerably larger.

The platform they may have supported would have measured roughly eight metres long, nearly two metres wide, and half a metre deep, substantial enough to have served as a walkway, a working surface, or some form of structured access across the wet ground. Bog platforms of this kind are not unusual finds across Irish peatlands; they were practical solutions to the challenge of moving through or working on waterlogged terrain, and they tend to survive because the acidic, oxygen-poor conditions of a raised bog can preserve organic material for centuries or even millennia. At Baunmore, however, the bulk of the structure has been milled away. Peat milling, the industrial-scale harvesting of bog for fuel and horticulture, strips away layer after layer of accumulated peat and anything embedded within it. Whatever the platform once consisted of, the milling machinery took most of it before anyone had the chance to record it properly. The two pegs that remain were found in a poor state of preservation, which is itself telling; even the bog's protective qualities had their limits once the upper layers were disturbed.
