In the centre of a partially dried up pond on poorly drained pasture at base of N facing slop of Knockdomny Hill. Depicted as a small pond with stream or water outlet at SSE on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. No antiquity depicted inside the pond on this map. Oval-shaped mound (H 1m; dims. c.8m E-W; c.3.5m N-S) the base of which is defined by an external water-filled fosse (Wth c.2.2m top; Wth 0.8m base; D c.0.9m) visible from WSW-N-ESE with causeway (Wth c.1.8m) at NNW. Fosse or moat supplied with water flowing from pond adjoining to SSE. Depicted on revised ed. OS 6-inch map as circular feature (diam. c.9m) with no pond area shown as it had been reclaimed by this period. According to landowner, this is an artificial feature constructed to counteract winter flooding in this field, it is unclear exactly how it serves this particular function.
