The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the S bank of a canalised W-E stream or drain, c. 27m from the stream and on the SW side of a boggy area that is probably a pond. Three grass-covered mounds are noted. This is a slight circular mound (diam. of base 7.5m; H c. 0.2-0.3m).
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.
