The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the NNW end of a SSE-NNW spur and just SE of its highest point. This is a raised subcircular, grass and rush-covered area (dims 34m NW-SE; 28m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 3.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.6m) and hedge with an outer fosse (Wth of base 1.4m; ext. D 0.7m) that cannot be traced SE-SW. 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.
