Situated towards the N end of a NNW-SSE drumlin ridge. This rath is depicted on McCrea's map of Co. Monaghan (1793). It is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 45m NE-SW: 44.4m NW-SE) that slopes down slightly to the NE and is defined by an earthen bank and hedge (Wth of base 5.4-6.4m; Int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2-1.6m), with traces of an outer fosse (at NW: Wth c. 3m; D 0.2m) WNW-ENE and E-SE (at SE: Wth 5.3m; ext. D 0.1m). The perimeter is incorporated into a field bank SE-WNW, with an outer drain SE-SSW. There are many gaps in the perimeter but either that at SW or SE (Wth of base 1.5m) is more likely to be the original. Rath (MO031-067----) is c. 220m to the SSE.

H 0.7m). The entrance through the inner (Wth of base 2m) and outer (Wth of base 3.2m) banks and a causeway (H 0.7m) are at SSE (max. ext. diam. 88m NNE-SSW). There is an outer field bank ESE-W, and an L-shaped depression inside the inner bank at NW is probably the result of quarrying. The rath (MO031-066----) is c. 220m to the NNW, and the raths (MO031-068----) and (MO031-069----) are on a lower shelf c. 200m to the ENE and c. 230m to the E respectively.
