This moated site, recorded on historical Ordnance Survey maps from 1910, consists of a nearly square enclosure measuring roughly 37 by 36 metres. The structure follows a classic defensive design with three distinct elements: an inner bank, a deep surrounding ditch (or fosse), and an outer bank, all of which form a protective barrier around the central area.

The earthwork’s most distinctive features are its raised corners on both the inner and outer banks, giving the monument a fortified appearance typical of medieval defensive structures. A single entrance breaks the perimeter halfway along the southeastern side, providing the only access point to the interior. Whilst the central area remains relatively level with no visible internal features, the entire site has been reclaimed by nature; dense thickets of blackthorn and hawthorn, along with mature beech trees, now cloak both the interior and the earthwork’s perimeter in a tangle of vegetation.

Today, this rectangular scrub-covered monument sits surrounded by forestry on three sides, with only aerial photography revealing its true form beneath the overgrowth. Though its original purpose remains uncertain, such moated sites typically date from the Anglo-Norman period and may have served as fortified homesteads, administrative centres, or even monastic enclosures. The site stands as a testament to medieval engineering and the enduring mark of human habitation on the Irish landscape, even as nature slowly reclaims what was once carefully constructed.
