Situated on the E-facing slope of a slight rise. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 32m E-W; 30.5m N-S) that slopes down slightly to the E. It is defined by slight traces of an earthen bank that are best preserved (Wth of base 5.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2.6m) SW-WNW but is largely reduced to a scarp (at ENE: Wth 4.5m; H 2m), and a wide, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 7.5m-8m; Wth of base 3m; ext. D 0.6-0.8m). A small berm (Wth 1m) separates the fosse from an outer field bank (Wth 2-3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1m) with trees. The original entrance is not identified but there is a possible causeway (Wth of top 3m; H 0.3m) 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.
