The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise in a gently undulating landscape. It is not depicted as an antiquity on any map. This is an oval mound (dims c. 15m N-S; c. 8m E-W; H 1.5m). Two set stones on the perimeter at W may be kerb stones. It is listed as possible passage-tomb (Herity 1974, 252). (Moore 1960)
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.
