This is situated on a slight SE-facing slope. The mound is a circular flat-topped, grass and scrub-covered mound (diam. of top 13.3m N-S; 12.6m E-W; diam. of base 25.5m NW-SE; H 5.4m) defined by a fosse (Wth of top 7-11.5m; Wth of base 2.5-3m; ext. D 1m) that can be distinguished from the mound. The fosse is slightly truncated by a N-S lane at W. A grass-covered bailey (dims c. 31m NW-SE; c. 20m NE-SW) may have been attached to the E and SE where it is defined by a slight scarp (at SE: Wth 5m; H 0.8m).
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.
