The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a level landscape just N of the graveyard of Kilmore parish church (ME043-042----). A section of road (L c. 65m), evident as a berm (Wth 7.5m) defined by the scarp of the graveyard (H 1m) at S and a ditch (Wth of top 5m; D at S 0.4m) and outer bank (Wth 3m; H at S 1; H at N 0.5m) at N survives where the original Dunboyne to Summerhill road ran (Moore 1975, 38). The road extended further E (L c. 75m) on the 1836 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, while the present road, which pre-dates 1836, lies c. 10m S of the graveyard.
