Located about 1.5 kilometres southwest of the mystical Lough Gur, this rectangular enclosure measures 55 metres east to west and 45 metres north to south. The site was first spotted as a cropmark during the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986, when differences in vegetation growth betrayed the presence of ancient earthworks beneath the surface.

The monument sits in characteristically wet, low-lying ground; typical terrain for a moated site, where medieval settlers once drained marshland to create defendable homesteads. A scarp defines the enclosure’s edges, whilst an external fosse, or defensive ditch, would have originally been water-filled to provide both drainage and protection. The site lies 190 metres south of a ringfort, suggesting this area saw multiple phases of settlement spanning different periods of Irish history.

What makes this discovery particularly intriguing is its absence from historical Ordnance Survey maps, meaning it had completely vanished from local memory before modern technology brought it back to light. Today, the site is best viewed from above through satellite imagery, where the rectangular footprint stands out clearly against the surrounding pasture. Its position near a watercourse, about 60 metres from the public road, makes it accessible enough for the curious visitor, though little remains visible at ground level beyond subtle changes in the landscape’s contours.
