What is recorded here

In gently undulating wet pasture extending c. 200m to the SW of a moated site (TS065-046001-). Visible at ground level as a series of broad shallow linear channels (average dims. Wth at base 1.8m; overall Wth 4.6m; D 0.3m) defining individual roughly rectangular fields (average dims. 30m by 40m). The field system has been heavily truncated across the E two-thirds of the area by modern, now disused, drains. There is no visible association between this field system and the moated site (TS065-046001-) located at the NE side of the area.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS065-046
