Site of Moat

On a mixed scrub and rough-grazing rise in tillage, immediately S of the W-flowing ‘Coves Brook’. Named ‘Site of Moat’ on the first edition (1840) of the OS 6-inch map (‘Site of’ indicating a levelled monument and 'Moat' an earthwork, possibly a moated-site) and shown immediately E of a large, irregularly oval-shaped feature (L c. 90m NE-SW; Wth c. 48m NW-SE). Not recorded on the later OS 25-inch map (1909) which shows the location as scrub-covered, with a gravel pit to the NE. While apparently levelled, sub-surface archaeological features may survive intact. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 29 November 2021
