The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a fold towards the top of a S-facing slope. The early monastic church and the medieval parish church of Moybologue are centred on a circular graveyard. This is at the S edge of what might be a large oval ecclesiastical enclosure (dims c. 270m E-W; c. 170m N-S), the perimeter of which could be fossilised in the road boundary that arcs past the graveyard E-S-W, including the S edge of the graveyard in its course. This is continued by a field bank curving W-NW which includes within it at this NW edge the motte and bailey (CV034-045----). The perimeter is absent NNW-NE but might follow the line of a field bank NE-E where it would meet the road.
