What is recorded here
Named 'Moat' and shown as a raised and possibly steep-sided, circular earthwork or mound on a manuscript map (NLI Ms. 21 F 35 (1727-1838)). Extensive gravel extraction has taken place at this location over the years, recorded on both eds. of the OS 6-inch map (1838 and 1938-39) and on the intervening OS 25-inch map, which shows gravel pits and a 'Kildare Golf Course' pavilion in this area. No obvious visible trace of an earthwork survives.
