Moated site in Cloonlogue

In reclaimed pasture 55m S of a stream. Not depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Shown on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as two conjoined sub-rectangular-shaped platforms (dims c. 33m NW-SE x 27m NE-SW and 28m NW-SE x 31m NE-SW) defined by a scarp which are divided by a fosse (Wth c 4m; L 27m). Outline of monument delimited by a drain at S and E is visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages. At NE angle a water channel or leat feeds into the moated fosse which is connected by a channel to the stream 100m to NE. Uncertain about antiquity of earthwork may be related to post-1700 land reclamation works, or could be the remains of a medieval moated site. See attached Google Earth orthoimages.
