What is recorded here

Kavanaghs Moat is a faded fairy fort in open Kildare pasture, its shallow ditch and low bank nearly swallowed by grass. The circle measures barely twenty metres across, yet the ground still tilts inward as if remembering the shape of a hidden room. Cattle walk past it without hesitation, but people slow their pace, sensing that the earth has kept a secret longer than any wall could hold.

In open, level pasture. A poorly preserved, raised, circular area (int. diam. c. 19.5m) is defined by a scarp (H 1.5-2.2m), and an overgrown outer fosse which is best preserved SE-NW (Wth 4.8m; D 1m). There is a possible entrance at N and the overgrown interior slopes sharply down from N to S. Visible as being densely overgrown on a 2005 aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto).
