Situated towards the NW end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a circular slightly domed, grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 37m WNW-ESE; 36m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 5-5.5m; int. H 0.4-0.8m; ext. H 1.8-2.1m) with bushes that has been removed NNW-NNE, and traces of an external fosse (at SE: Wth of top 3.4m; Wth of base 2.5m; ext. D 0.3m) that has been replaced by ponds and a ditch N-E. There are gaps in the bank at S and SW but the original entrance is likely to be that (Wth of base 1.9m) at ESE.
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.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
