The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise towards the bottom of an E-facing hill and overlooking Bogwood Lough, two small lakes (diam. c. 100m) that are c. 100m to the E at the nearest point. This monument is not depicted on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was visible in 1969 as a raised circular overgrown area (diam. 32m NE-SW) that sloped down to the NE. It was defined by a scarp (at SW: Wth 1.5m; H 1.3m). There was no visible fosse or recognisable original entrance. It had been removed by 1995 (OSAP).
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.
