What is recorded here
Situated on a fairly level landscape. This feature is not depicted on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is a raised, circular and grass-covered area (diam. 41m E-W; 39m N-S) defined by a scarp (at W: Wth 4m; H 1.3m). The entrance may be at E and the perimeter at N is slightly truncated by an ENE-WSW field bank.
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.
