This rectangular enclosure, measuring approximately 75 metres north to south and 65 metres east to west, reveals itself clearly in aerial photographs taken between 2009 and 2013. The site consists of a raised bank that defines the perimeter, with what appears to be the remains of an external defensive ditch visible along its northern edge.

The enclosure’s western boundary extends southward for about 50 metres beyond the main rectangular area, reaching all the way to the public road. A particularly fascinating feature is what looks to be a sunken roadway that once connected the northwest corner of the earthwork to this same public road, suggesting this was the original entrance to the site. These sunken tracks, worn deep into the landscape through centuries of use, often mark ancient routes that have long since fallen out of regular use.

While the exact purpose and date of this enclosure remain uncertain without archaeological investigation, its form and features suggest it may have served as a moated site; a type of medieval settlement typically associated with Anglo-Norman colonisation in Ireland. These sites, common throughout Limerick and neighbouring counties, were often home to lesser nobility or wealthy farming families during the 13th and 14th centuries. The presence of both the nearby church and ringfort hints at a landscape that has been continuously occupied and reworked for well over a thousand years.
