The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the S boundary of a large arable field, c. 1.4km SSE of the Delvin River, which forms the Dublin/Meath boundary, and c. 1.1km SE of a barrow in Westown (DU004-005----). Positive cropmarks visible on Apple Maps coverage (June 2018) indicate the presence of a ring-ditch (ext. diam. c. 13m) defined by a ditch (Wth c. 2.5m). There are no clear indications of a gap through the ditch.
