Situated in a hollow in a low-lying undulating landscape. It is not depicted on any OS map but is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: N 288, 289) from the 1970s and later series. This is a rectangular grass-covered area (dims c. 30m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by wide flat-bottomed moats (Wth of top 12-19m; Wth of base 8-10m; int. D 0.5m; ext. D 1-1.5m) on every side except the N where the moat has been removed by an E-W field bank. There is a large but shallow and grass-covered quarry (dims 19m E-W; c. 10m N-S; D 0.5-1m) in the interior, but there is no visible entrance.
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.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
