Recorded monuments

• KK015-027 Moated site
  Description

  In a small wood at the foot of uplands looking to W and SW above a boggy plain. To the E there is a steep slope of reclaimed grassland rising up to Castlecomer hills. Good views across lowlands to N, S and W, poor to E. A rectangular enclosure (dims. c. 30m N-S; c. 35m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth 1.5m at crest; overall Wth 6m; int. H at least 1.4m; ext. H c. 1.6m) and fosse (Wth 2m; D 1-1.4m to N, S and W; D at least 2m to E). Barry (1977, 190) describes the fosse as being a 'Wet moat 3m wide and 4.4m in depth'. The monument was heavily overgrown with scrub at time of inspection. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 2 March 2016
