What is recorded here

Situated on a NW-facing slope. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 35m NE-SW; 33.7m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (at NW: Wth of base 6.7m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2.2m) and an outer fosse (Wth 2.5m; ext. D 0.2m) that survive WNW-N. The monument is cut by a NE-SW road at SE and is defined by a slight scarp SE of this feature. The original entrance is not evident. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 31 August 2018
