The site is located to the north-north-west of the complex of monuments on the Hill of Tara (ME031-033) which covers the townlands of Belpere, Cabragh, Castleboy, Jordanstown, Odder, Ross, Fodeen and Castletown Tara. These are located on higher ground to the south which slopes down towards Castletown Tara townland.
There are remains of a 16th/17th-century house (ME031-016) across the road to the north.
A dwelling house was proposed for the site. Six test trenches revealed no archaeological features and no artefacts were recovered apart from one fragment of modern glass.
