The National Monuments Service's description
Cropmark of rectilinear-shaped enclosures visible on Google earth aerial imagery, could be the remains of deserted medieval settlement associated with Ardoyne church (WI042-003001-) and motte and bailey castle (WI042-002----). Alternatively the cropmarks could be the remains of post-1700 drainage channels.
