Moated site in Ballyculleen

On a flat, low-lying landscape on the E bank of a NW-SE section of the SW-NE Killukin River which is just to the W of the SW corner. Wedge-shaped grass-covered area (dims 35.5m N-S; 17.1m E-W at N to 25m E-W at S) with rounded SE and SW corners, defined by earthen banks (Wth 5.6m at W to 6.9m at S; int. H 0.3-0.5m; ext. H 1.2-1.6m) on the S and W sides and the S end of the E side, and by scarps (H 0.65m) elsewhere. There is an outer fosse or moat (Wth of base 4.5m; D 0.3-0.55m) at the N ends of the E and W sides with an outer earthen bank (Wth 5.8m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.6m) at the N end of the E side. There is no visible entrance. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
