Situated at the NW end of a NW-SE ridge. This is a subcircular or subrectangular grass and scrub-covered area (dims 52m E-W; c. 35-45m N-S) defined by traces of an earthen bank and an overgrown outer fosse (Wth of top 4-5m; int. D 1.5m; ext. D 1.5m) NE-SE across the neck of the ridge, and by an overgrown scarp (H c. 1.5m) and external berm elsewhere. There is an entrance causeway (Wth of top 1m; H 1.1m) at E. The perimeter at N and S has evidence of old quarry excavations.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
