The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a hillock in a gently undulating landscape. This is an overgrown and flat-topped mound (diam. of top 12m; diam. of base c. 35m; H 2m at to 6m). There is no visible fosse but it is surrounded by an earthen bank probably from a tree-ring.
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.
