The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise in a gently undulating landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a single fosse is visible only on an oblique aerial photograph (CUCAP: BDP 030) from 1970, but the fosse is only evident NW-E-SW. (Feeley 2001, 29-30, No. 3)
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.
