Moated site in Knockroe (coonagh By.)

On a NE-facing slope in pasture abutting the townland boundary with Knockaunroe. Earthwork (LI024-069----) located 250m to SW. The site is not recorded as an antiquity on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map but is depicted as a five sided small field located on the site of the enclosure. Clearance of these field boundaries is recorded on the 1897 OSi ed. 25-inch map. The enclosure is visible as a curving earthwork surviving on the field surface on the OSi orthoimage taken 2005-12. Visible on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 7 AP 4/3629) as an enclosure defined by a fosse (ext. dims. c. 58m N-S; 57m E-W). Visible on ASI aerial photographic survey 2002 (ASIAP (309) 35/36). The enclosure is faintly visible on the most recent Google Earth orthoimages taken 18/11/2018.
