The National Monuments Service's description
A straight field bank running NNW-SSE (L c. 1.1km) c. 100-200m W of the Athboy River, which here is known as the Tremblestown River, is represented on the 1836 and 1912 editions of the OS 6-inch map, but it is described as ‘The Pale’ only on the latter. Much of it is now a farm lane, and its true nature is not known.
