Situated on a fairly level landscape with a W-E section of the River Blackwater c. 90, to the S. The cropmark of an enclosure (diam. c. 40m) defined by a single fosse feature SE-W-N is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP: BDQ061). It is not visible on any other series of aerial images.
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.
