The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the bottom of a gentle N-facing slope with a SSE-NNW field drain just to the E and it is c. 15m SE of the rectangular enclosure (ME012-021002-). This is a low, grass-covered mound (diam. 11m N-S; 10m E-W; H 0.6-0.7m) that is at the top of a scarp down to the drain, and it may be spoil.
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.
