Situated on a level landscape on the NW bank a SW-NE section of the River Boyne, with the stream c. 120m to the SE. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 8m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on an aerial photograph (ME031-076_1) taken in July 2018. There are two smaller ring-ditches (diam. c. 2m; c. 1m) visible c. 55m and c. 75m to the E. This ring-ditch is also visible on OSI aerial images (1995).
