Create a brief description of a dreary scene outside a bog with peat, bricks, and birch coppice.

The remains of a tumble-down cottage squat beside a small birch coppice, still sporting a few dried strands of thatch clinging to the fallen ridgepole. A few whitewashed bricks still stand one atop the other, but for the most part the dried mud has long since melted back to the soil from which it came. Blackened wooden support piles driven deep into the peat are barely visible beneath the rubble piled around the building.
