Situated towards the top of and on the NE side of the NW-SE spine of a drumlin. This rath, or rath (MO025-008----) which is c. 170m to the WNW, is depicted on McCrea’s map of County Monaghan (1793) and this feature is also depicted as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture, although it can be detected as the cropmark of a large enclosure defined by a bank (diam. c. 50m) and outer fosse feature on the OSi aerial images (1995).
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.
