The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a level, low-lying landscape. A rectangular structure (dims c. 10m N-S: c. 5m E-S) is marked on the 1836 ed. of the OS 6" map where it is described as the 'Site of Old Church' in italic lettering. There are no visible remains of this feature in pasture, in a field known as the Chapel Field.
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.
