What is recorded here

Located on a short NW-SE spur. This is a grass and rush-covered area defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 5.5m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 1.8m) and an outer fosse (Wth c. 5.5m) that survive WSW-N (Chord 32m) within a small rectangular field (dims c. 55m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW) which probably contains the full extent of the monument but the perimeter cannot be traced elsewhere. 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: 3 September 2018
