This rectangular earthwork, measuring approximately 50 metres north to south and 40 metres east to west, once formed part of what appears to be a larger enclosure system. Though time and agriculture have largely levelled the monument, leaving little visible trace above ground, its footprint can still be detected in the landscape, particularly where a farm track cuts through its southern edge and a minor road truncates its western boundary.

The site appears on historical Ordnance Survey six-inch maps, providing crucial documentation of its original extent before modern farming practices obscured most of its features. The moated site likely dates to the medieval period, when such defensive earthworks were common across Ireland, typically surrounding manor houses or agricultural settlements. These monuments consisted of wide, water-filled ditches enclosing a raised platform where buildings would have stood, offering both drainage and protection to their inhabitants.

Whilst the main body of the monument has been lost to cultivation, a rectangular structure in the northeast quadrant still survives and offers tantalising evidence of the site’s original form. This feature appears to incorporate part of the moated site’s bank along the western end of its north side; the earthwork here measures 4.5 metres in overall width, narrowing to 2.5 metres at the top, with modest surviving heights of less than 20 centimetres. These measurements, though humble, provide archaeologists with valuable data about the construction techniques and scale of medieval moated sites in this region of Ireland.
