Situated on a rise which is on a NE-facing slope and overlooking a col with a hill rising to the NE. This rath is the more northerly of two at Lattacrossan represented on McCrea’s Map of County Monaghan (1793), and it is also depicted on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is an oval and domed grass-covered area (dims 38m NNW-SSE; 32.3m ENE-WSW) defined by a scarp (Wth 1.5m; H 1m at N to 3m at SE) that is incorporated into an overgrown field bank and hedge SE-W-NW. There is no visible fosse and the original entrance is not identified. The perimeter is damaged by quarrying SSE-SSW.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
