What is recorded here
No amount of thinking will add what is absent.
Located on a summit of a NNW-SSE ridge. This is a raised but overgrown circular area (diam. c.30-35m) defined by an overgrown scarp (at NE: H 1.7m) separated by a fosse (at NE: Wth of top 5.4m; Wth of base 1.5m; ext. D 1.4m) from an outer bank (at NE: Wth of base 4m; Wth of top 1.8m; ext. H 0.5m). An original entrance is not identified.
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.
