This henge is terrific. The high banks of this fortress are clearly visible and the layout easy to determine. You can get a good look at it from the road (where I took the photo), but the owner of the land is a little fussy about people entering. Actually he has no choice if you ask him as the fort itself is owned by the state.
The nearby tomb and mound (O 030 739) are also on his land. Ask at the house at O 030 740.

Take the N51 east from Drogheda for about 4km and take the first left after the parking/picnic area at Townley Hall. Follow the road until you have gone through a series of sharp bends (left/right/left/right). 400m after this last right bend you will see the henge in the field.To gain access ask at Dowth Hall 500m further along.
