It is described as ‘Leary’s Fort’ in gothic lettering on the OS 6-inch maps. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 33.5m NE-SW; 28m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 4.9-6.2m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 1.3m at NNE to 2.3m at SSW) and hedge. There is no visible fosse and the entrance ramp (Wth of base 1.4m) is at SSE. It has become overgrown since 1968 (Digitalmap). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987).
