Situated on a rise in an undulating landscape and just S of a small canalised WNW-ESE stream and c. 30m SW of the point where it turns SSE. This is a raised circular and overgrown area (dims 37.5m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by a wide, rounded fosse (at SW: Wth of top 7m; int. D 1.6m; ext. D 0.6m) E-W-NNW and the remains of an outer earthen bank (at SW: Wth of base 7.5m; ext. H 0.9m) S-W and NW-N, being incorporated into a field bank built into the slope of the rise N-E-S. It is surrounded by field banks but the NW quadrant has been quarried away. The original entrance is not identified, but a possible causeway (Wth of top 3m; H 0.4m) is in the fosse at E.
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.
