The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in gently undulating pasture, overlooked by a small, naturally formed ridge running NE-SW close to W. Depicted as an earthwork on Larkin’s 1808 map of Co. Westmeath (NLI, MS 46,580). Not depicted on any ed. OS maps. Site of levelled monument described in 1979 as no surface remains visible. The field has just been ploughed and there are no indications of anything of archaeological interest. Monument is visible today as a faint roughly oval-shaped cropmark (dims. 24m E-W; 22.5m N-S) on Digital Globe aerial photography.
