The National Monuments Service's description
Located on an E-facing slope. There are local reports from 1967 of a possible barrow (ME006-014001-) that had been removed c. 1960 and had been W of a stone ‘14 inches by 14 inches and 3 feet 10 inches high (dims c. 0.35m x c. 0.35m; H c. 1.15m)’.
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.
