Situated at the N end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This rath is depicted on the NW side of a NNE-SSW road on McCrea’s map of County Monaghan (1793), and it is shown with dotted lines on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map on the same side of the road. By the time the 1907 edition was made the road looped around it just to the W as it does now. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims c. 45m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by a scarp E-S-W (at S: Wth 5.4m; H 1.3m) that melds into the slope elsewhere. It is visible on the OSI aerial images 2005 (OSAP). Rath (MO028-046----) is c. 200m to the SE.
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.
