The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight WNW-ESE ridge in a gently undulating landscape. It is not depicted on any OS 6-inch map. This is a low grass-covered subcircular mound (dims of base 13m WNW-ESE: 10m NNE-SSW; H 0.4m at NE to 0.6m at SW).
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.
