Situated just off the crest of a shelf towards the top of the E-facing slope of a NNW-SSE drumlin ridge. This rath is depicted on McCrea’s Map of County Monaghan (1793). It was a circular grass-covered area (diam. 23m N-S; 21m WNW-ESE) that is now overgrown and slopes down severely to the E (H 2.2m). It is defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at WNW: Wth 5.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.7m) S-W-N (upslope) that is reduced to an external scarp (at ESE: Wth 5.5m H 1.2m) elsewhere. There is an entrance (Wth of base 2.2m) at NW. Rath (MO031-067----) is c. 200m to the WSW and rath (MO031-069----) is c. 60m 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.
