Its source is near Collon (53.775°N -6.495°W), from where it flows through County Louth towards the southeast until a place west of Drummond Tower in Coolfore where it begins to form the boundary between Counties Meath and Louth.[2] Here it turns towards the southwest until Monknewtown where it takes a southeastern direction again before turning roughly east at Dowth. It joins the River Boyne at Oldbridge in the parish of Drogheda (53.7207°N -6.4276°W). The estimated terrain elevation above sea level is 10 metres.
