Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The depth of the peat ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 m. The first metre is poorly humified carex peat. The second metre appears to be composed of woody sphagnum with moderate to high humification.
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Much of the strongly humified sphagnum is considered to be contaminated with wood and shrubs. Because of this contamination and the small deposit size, this occurrence is considered to be uneconomic despite its location. The bog is 143 ha in size and contains roughly 1,619,000 cubic m of peat.
