Located 120 metres east of a main watercourse that doubles as the townland boundary with Castlefarm, these conjoined structures represent two moated sites that have somehow escaped inclusion on historic Ordnance Survey maps. The sites were first identified during the Bruff aerial photographic survey of 1986, appearing as distinct rectangular shapes in the landscape that had previously gone unrecorded.

The primary moated site measures approximately 35 metres northeast to southwest and 33 metres northwest to southeast, defined by a surrounding fosse, or defensive ditch, that remains clearly visible from above. Various aerial images taken between 2005 and 2017, including Ordnance Survey orthoimagery, Digital Globe photographs, and Google Earth imagery, all show the monument as an unmistakable rectangular earthwork. The land itself is characterised by wet pasture, crossed by a network of land drains and watercourses that have likely helped preserve the earthwork’s outline over the centuries.

What makes this site particularly intriguing is its connection to a second, slightly larger moated site immediately to the northwest. These conjoined earthworks suggest a complex medieval settlement pattern, possibly representing a fortified farmstead or manor with associated structures. Despite their clear visibility from the air and their obvious archaeological significance, both sites remain relatively unknown, having been overlooked by cartographers and historians until modern aerial survey techniques revealed their presence in the Irish landscape.
