The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a level landscape on the NW bank a SW-NE section of the River Boyne, with the stream c. 80m to the SE. The cropmark of a relatively large ring-ditch (ME031-076001-) is visible on an aerial photograph (ME031-076_1) taken in July 2018, but a smaller ring-ditch (diam. c. 3m), defined by a fosse feature, is situated c. 55m to the E, and the smaller ring-ditch (ME031-076003-) is c. 5m further to the E.
