What is recorded here

A possible field system identified as cropmarks on an aerial photograph (GSI 1973-7). It consists of two roughly parallel ditches (L c. 300m) running NW-SE, the easternmost appears to run southward from the E angle of a moated site (KK002-003001-). The ditches towards the N are c. 90m apart and narrow towards the S to c. 60m apart. There are also two ditches at right angles between the NW-SE ditches. These may be part of a field system associated with the moated site or may be related to later farm drainage activity. The field system was not visible at ground level at time of inspection.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KK002-003003
