The National Monuments Service's description
This is a circular, flat-topped and completely overgrown mound (diam. of top c. 20m; diam. of base c. 30m; H 2-3m), although the growth is now removed (Bing c. 2013). There is no visible fosse or entrance and it was known locally as 'The Moat'.
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.
