The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a NW-facing slope. This is a raised circular and grass-covered area (diam. 52m NE-SW; 49m NNW-SSE) defined by a scarp (at SE: Wth 3.5m; H 1.6m; at NW: Wth 20m; H 3.5m), with a fosse (at SE: Wth of top 8m; Wth of base 1.5m; ext. D 0.7m) ENE-SSW. There is no identifiable original entrance and it is slightly truncated at SW by a NW-SE field bank.
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.
