Enclosure in Moonhall — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Thirty-two metres of forgotten margin beside a lost Kilkenny castle. The earthwork still holds its shape beneath dense growth, a shallow rectangle marked by a thin eastern bank. It may have marked a yard, a garden or a boundary for the settlement that vanished around the castle. Moonhall keeps that much of the shape alive.

On brow of NE-facing slope in marshland. A raised, partially levelled, subrectangular area (diam. c. 32m) defined in the E sector by a low, denuded bank (max. int. H 0.6m). The interior slopes gently from S to N and is covered in dense overgrowth. This enclosure appears to be part of a larger complex of earthworks associated with a deserted settlement (KK020-022004-) surrounding a castle (KK020-022001-) which lies c. 100m to the N.
