Situated in a slight fold on an E-facing slope. According to the Civil Survey (1655) there were twenty cabins at Moylagh in 1641 as well as the church and castle, the property of Sir Richard Barnwall of Crickstown (ME039-006----) (Simington 1940, 266). A grass-covered area of about 1.5 ha (c. 4 acres) has relict field banks (Wth c. 4m; H c. 0.5m) creating small plots (dims c. 20m x c. 20m to c. 35m x c. 15m) aligned NE-SW, parallel with the current field walls. Amongst the plots is a single house platform (dims 12m E-W; 5.3m N-S) defined by low scarps. There are some old quarry holes in the area. The parish church of Moylagh (ME015-033001-) and its graveyard are immediately to the SW, and the motte (ME015-033----) is at the S end of the complex with relict field banks connecting with it.
