It is on the county boundary with Meath (ME002-007----). This s a circular overgrown cairn (diam. 24m N-S; 22m E-W; H 1.5m over water level) that has evidence of a stone kerb and wooden piles on the perimeter N-E.

H c. 0.8m) and an outer grass-covered fosse (at W: Wth of top 3.4m; ext. D 0.3m). It is truncated by a NE-SW field bank at SE and is not visible SE of this feature. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).

D 0.3-0.5m) that is most visible N-SE and probably absent NW-N where there is a road bank outside the rath bank. The bank has inner facing stones that might be ancient and a more modern outer facing of stones with a herring-bone pattern. The entrance (Wth of base 3.7m) and causeway (Wth of top 4.5m; H 0.4m) are at SSW.
