It was usually around 4" OD and 16-18" long.  I recently found some, in the process of digging a drainage ditch, that was smaller and looked like this " O " a round, hollow tube with a flat base.

That’s what I remember of the ones used in New Zealand - that they had a flat on the bottom, so you could line them up I guess and not have them roll around - perhaps helped with stacking them too if they couldn’t roll around.
