The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level landscape. A section of a lintelled passage (L 5m plus) was almost completely silted up but led S to a corbelled beehive chamber (diam. 3.6m; H 2.1m) that was discovered and recorded in 1975. (Kelly 1977)
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.
