Recorded monuments

• OF025-011 Moated site
  Description

  Located just below the top of a hill with extensive views to the N, S and the E. Only half of this site survives with the E and S sides destroyed. From the surviving evidence it is possible to classify this site as a moated site due to its rounded corners, wide flat bottomed water filled fosse and its square shape. The site consists of a raised platform (48m E-W; 41m N-S) enclosed by a wide fosse (Wth 3m; D 1.3m) with slight evidence of an external bank at Wand N. The fosse and platform have been badly damaged by cattle and this gives the fosse a very ragged edge. There is a field drain attached to the NE angle which may have acted as the water supply for the fosse which is presently filled with water. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
