The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the crest of a W-facing slope, it is not depicted on any map. This is a grass and scrub-covered mound (diam. of base c. 20-25m; H c. 3m at E to c. 8m at W).
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.
