Situated at the NE end of a small NE-SW spur. This is a circular grass and scrub-covered, and domed (H 1.3m) area (diam. 55m NE-SW; 50m NW-SE) with rock outcrop defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 7.5-9m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.4m) and a slight outer fosse (Wth of top 5m at SW to 9m at NE; Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.3-0.5m) both of which are best preserved at NE but the bank morphs into a field bank with external facing stones S-W-N and the fosse is only clearly visible at NE and SW. The original entrance (Wth of base 1.8m) is at SSE.
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.
