The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise in an undulating low-lying landscape. This is a low grass-covered mound (diam. of base 10.5m E-W; diam. of top 5m E-W; H 0.7-0.8m) separated by a fosse (Wth of top 8-9.5m; Wth of base 1-2.5m; ext. D 1.3m) from an outer earthen bank (Wth of base 7-8.5m; ext. H 0.6-0.8m) with some bushes, but the bank and fosse have been removed E-SW and the mound damaged in the same area.
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.
