The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a hillock in an undulating landscape. This is a circular grass-covered and slightly domed area (diam. 24m NNW-SSE; 22.5m E-W) defined by an external scarp (at N: Wth 2m; H 1m; at S: Wth 4m; H 1.8m) and berm (Wth 1.2-2.2m). The perimeter is slightly quarried at E but an original entrance is not identified.
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.
