People and events
The saved account records: Well-preserved conjoined moated site consisting of: (a) a rectangular enclosure (NNW-SSE 50m, NNE-SSW 22.5m) defined by two banks/scarps and an intervening fosse.
How it worked

What remains
The saved account records: The fosse and outer bank are clearly visible but material dredged from the stream has been piled up on the outer bank along NE side.
Why it mattered
Lisduff — Carrowmunniagh matters because the source ties moated site to this exact landscape and preserves evidence that a bare map name loses. The saved account adds: The outer bank survives only from NW to NE.
