The surviving structure consists of a northwest to southeast running field wall, approximately 160 metres long and 0.7 metres high, now largely overgrown with hedgerow. What makes this wall particularly intriguing are the two polygonal, spear-like towers that project from its northwestern and southeastern ends, each measuring roughly 11 metres by 11 metres. These features appear on the revised 1911 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, suggesting their historical significance to the area.

The wall likely formed the northeastern side of a rectangular bawn, with matching towers presumably once standing at the southern and western corners, though no trace of these remains today. The projecting towers are now filled with soil, making detailed examination impossible, but their distinctive shape hints at defensive architecture typical of the period. A hedgerow boundary extending from the southeastern angle of the wall in a north-northeast to south-southwest direction may follow the original line of the bawn’s southeastern wall, offering clues to the structure’s original footprint.

There’s another possibility worth considering; this wall might instead be part of a large walled garden belonging to Moatfarrell House, which stands about 340 metres to the west-southwest. Such garden walls with decorative towers were fashionable additions to grand houses, serving both practical and aesthetic purposes. Without excavation, the true nature of this structure remains tantalisingly uncertain, a puzzle piece in Longford’s layered history waiting to reveal whether it served medieval defence or Georgian leisure.
