The National Monuments Service's description
This is a subcircular domed (H c. 2m) and grass-covered area (dims 54m NE-SW; 42m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (at NW: Wth 5m; H 1.5m: at SE: Wth 4m; H 2m), with a slight outer fosse or drain S-N-E. An entrance is not identified but it is overlain by a NE-SW field bank towards the perimeter at SE. Rath (ME042-017----) is c. 30m to the NNE.
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.
