What is recorded here

Marked faintly as a rectangular feature (dims. c. 30m N-S; c. 30m E-W) only on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and located on the floodplain of the N-S River Slaney, which is c. 150m to the E. This is a square grass-covered area (dims. 24m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by silted moats (at W: Wth 10m; D 0.6m) on each side, with outer banks at S and W (Wth 6m; ext. H 0.5m). There is a causeway (Wth 5m) at the NW corner, and a dried up leat enters the moat from the NW.
