The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the bottom of a gentle S-facing slope. It is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: O 301). This is a circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 7.7m E-W; 7.6m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.7m; H 0.3m) and an outer fosse (Wth of base c. 1.5m; ext. D 0.2m). There is no visible entrance and the monument is truncated slightly at S by an E-W field drain.
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.
