The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the floodplain on the S bank of a SW-NE section the River Boyne, and at the bottom of a slope down from the Redmountain ridge. The cropmarks of three enclosures defined by fosses placed close together and connected by further drains are visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International conducted during June 2018. This oval enclosure (int. dims c. 37m ENE-WSW; c. 25m NNW-SSE) is defined by a fosse (Wth c. 2-3m) which almost touches that of (ME020-090001-) immediately to the NW, but its fosse is very slight NE-SW. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
