- At Pottlereagh there is a Moat Mrs. Plunketts land it was one time known as Stephens Moat from the owner of the land at the time. It was built with lime and stone and then covered over with clay. It is arched from above then covered with clay and the best of lime and sand. You wouldent separate a stone of it, it is so well done. It is perfectly round and there was a drain around it and you could fill the moat with water around it if you wanted to but the old people filled one side of it to make more land and there is only water on one side of it now.
