In improved, wet pasture, cut by land drains and watercourses, 110m E of a main watercourse, which also marks a townland boundary with Castlefarm. Moated site (LI032-280002-) conjoined to SE. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Monument identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 272.1: AP 5/2047) as a large rectangular-shaped earthwork with a slightly smaller rectangular-shaped earthwork [LI032-280002-] conjoined to SE. Upstanding monument is clearly visible as a rectangular-shaped area (50m NW-SE; 48m NE-SW) defined by a fosse, as seen on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/03/2017. The second moated site (LI032-208002-) is clearly visible conjoined to SE.
