That label, combining Irish and English terms, hints at something once considered significant enough to name and map, even if the ground itself has since been doing its best to forget the fact. Today, what survives sits quietly in pasture, roughly thirty metres south of the road that marks the townland boundary between Kilmihil and Ballingaddy South, its outline barely legible to the eye.

By the time the Ordnance Survey returned with its 25-inch mapping in 1897, the feature was depicted as a raised oval area measuring approximately eleven metres on its north-west to south-east axis and seven metres across. A field boundary had been laid directly across it, running from south-east to north-west, which tells its own story about how the landscape gradually repurposed older monuments for practical agricultural ends. The term 'moat' as used on older Irish maps generally refers to an earthen mound, often associated with earlier occupation or ritual use, rather than a water-filled defensive ditch in the medieval English sense. Its proximity to a holy well, recorded about 170 metres to the west, is worth noting; in the Irish landscape, mounds and holy wells frequently appear in close company, suggesting that particular patches of ground accumulated layers of meaning over long periods. Whether this mound was a burial feature, a marker of some kind, or something else entirely, the notes do not say.

For anyone determined to find it, the approach is through working farmland, so permissions and consideration for grazing are the practical starting point. The mound itself no longer presents a dramatic profile; the most honest way to look for it is to study the line of the field boundary carefully, where satellite imagery reveals a slight but genuine bulge in the earthworks, the last visible trace of whatever was once raised here. Google Earth orthoimages, as noted by compiler Martin Fitzpatrick, offer a useful reference before any visit. There is no infrastructure, no signage, and no cleared path, which makes this the kind of site best appreciated by those comfortable reading a landscape for what it almost, but not quite, conceals.
