There is no visible bank or fosse and the entrance may be the fold in the lip of the scarp at ESE. The perimeter is s lightly truncated by a NW-SE road bank at N and by a NE-SW field bank at SE. There is an old grass-covered quarry outside the perimeter at NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
