Description
Situated on a wide high ridge and consisting of a high flat-topped mound (diam. at base c. 34m; at summit 16.2m, H 6-9m) with remains of a wide fosse (Wth 6.3m, D 0.9m) now almost filled in but still discernible all the way round. There are very slight remains of a possible bailey (max. L c. 40m, Wth c. 30m, H c. 0.9m) to the ESE of the mound defined by scarping. The remains of a low drystone wall (Wth c. 0.6m, H c. 0.3m) surrounds the summit of the mound.

- LH013-031 Settlement deserted - medieval
Description
Aerial photographs (GB91.DC.03, 12 and 13) show an extensive sequence of earthworks delineating a deserted settlement, probably of medieval date, comprising: a) three hollow-ways; (i) a hollow-way extending north-west to south-east and centred at 291211, 294036 (ii) a complex system of hollow-ways in the middle of the earthwork complex and centred at 291282, 294084; a broad central hollow-way bifurcates at both ends to form four separate hollow-ways. (iii) a hollow-way extending along the southern edge of the earthwork sequence and centred at 291280, 294000 b) a series of rectilinear plots extending in a north-easterly direction from the southern hollow-way, probably representing the individual crofts of the medieval village; and c) an earthen bank extending west to east, providing the southern limit of the settlement, centred at 291348, 294019 The earthworks are located between St. Medoc's church (LH013 -028001 in Churchtown townland), and the motte and bailey castle at Stormanstown (LH013 -024001), both of which would have formed part of the contemporary medieval landscape.
