Located in the Raheen field near Kyle, this historic feature sits on an east-facing slope at the base of the Blackstairs Mountains, with a small stream flowing just to its south. Though the site is no longer visible at ground level, having been absorbed into the surrounding pasture over centuries, its outline was carefully recorded on the 1839 Ordnance Survey map as a small embanked enclosure measuring approximately 30 metres east to west and 25 metres north to south.

Moated sites like this one were a common feature of the Anglo-Norman landscape in medieval Ireland, typically dating from the 13th to 14th centuries. These rectangular or square enclosures, surrounded by water-filled ditches, served as defended homesteads for colonising families of varying social status. The moat provided both defensive capabilities and a ready source of water, whilst the raised platform within would have supported timber or stone buildings, including a hall, domestic quarters, and agricultural structures.

The Kyle moated site forms part of a broader pattern of Anglo-Norman settlement across County Wexford, representing the everyday lives of medieval colonists rather than the grand castles of the nobility. First catalogued by Terry Barry in 1977 and later included in the Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford, the site remains an important, if subtle, reminder of how medieval settlers adapted to and shaped the Irish landscape. Its position in the slight valley, taking advantage of natural water sources and sheltered terrain, demonstrates the practical considerations that guided medieval settlement patterns in southeast Ireland.
