Located just NE of the summit of a hillock in an undulating landscape. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 44m WNW-ESE; 40.5m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 6-9m; int. H 0.9-1m; ext. H 1.9-2.4m) with some bushes separated by a rounded fosse (Wth of top 7.5-8m) from an outer earthen bank (Wth of base 3-3.5m; ext. H 0.3m), which is particularly massive (Wth of base 7m; ext. H 0.9m) at SW and incorporated into a field bank W-N. The interior is uneven, probably from old quarries, and the original entrance is not identified.
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.
