What is recorded here

Outlined is a moated site on a south-facing slope in County Limerick, Ireland, overlooking the Gortnageragh River valley. It appears as a rectangular cropmark about twenty-five by twenty-four metres, hidden beneath pasture rather than marked as an antiquity on the 1840 map. A graveyard lies seventy-five metres east, suggesting the flat rectangle may have served life and death alike before fields swallowed its edges.
