What is recorded here

Enclosure described in 1942-3 as following; 'This monument consists of a rectangular space which was surrounded by an earthen bank faced on the outside with stone. The bank remains only for a short distance on the east side and at the south-east corner. Surrounding the bank on the outside is a wide, deep water filled fosse. There is no causeway or other means of crossing this. The water is from 3' [0.9m] to 4' [1.2m] deep. Outside this there was an earthen bank. This has disappeared altogether on the east, but is continuous around the other sides. The monument measures 240' [73m] north to south by 180' [55m] overall. It is situated in low-land wet ground' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 229). Outline of tree-covered moated site visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
