Located at the SE tip of NW-SE spur. A large embanked enclosure (diam. c. 40m) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a 'fort'. Faint traces of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 28m) are visible as a low bank (Wth 3.2m; H 0.1m) and fosse (Wth of top 3.6m; D 0.3m) in pasture NW-NE. It is visible as a cropmark defined by two fosse features on the OSi aerial images (1995). A gradiometer and resistance survey was carried out in 2001 as part of the desk based assessment work for the N2 Carrickmacross-Aclint Road Realignment. This demonstrated that it as a bivallate rath measuring c. 90m x 76m externally and 54m x 46m internally with possible entrances at the N and S.

Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape. It is depicted as an embanked enclosure described as a ‘fort’ in gothic lettering only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a slight scarp. It is bisected by a N-S field bank. It is visible as a cropmark defined by an earthen bank with internal fosse or drain features on the OSI series of aerial photographs (1995).

Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 03E0888) and situated on a gentle S-facing slope in a low-lying area with a SW-NE section of a small meandering stream just to the S. Excavation revealed the walls of a rectangular structure (10m E-W x 7m N-S) with a possible entrance at the NW. A large assemblage of early Neolithic pottery was recovered from the post-holes and slot trenches. The W wall appears to have been burnt down which probably led to abandonment of the structure. It produced a calibrated C14 date of 3766-3637 BC, and it was found in association with two other Neolithic structures (MO031-125---- and MO031-126----).

Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 03E0888) and situated on a gentle S-facing slope in a low-lying area with a NW-SE section of a small meandering stream c. 40m to the S. Excavation revealed the walls of a rectangular structure (13.5m E-W x 8m N-S) with an internal dividing wall towards the E end and an entrance at the NW. Finds included a large assemblage of early Neolithic pottery, flint and a polished stone axe. It produced three C14 dates varying from calibrated dates of 3776-3655 to 3701-3526 BC. It was found in association with two other Neolithic structures (MO031-124---- and MO031-126----).

Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 03E0888) and situated on a gentle S-facing slope in a low-lying area with a NW-SE section of a small meandering stream c. 40m to the S. Excavation revealed the walls of a rectangular structure (12m E-W x 7-8.5m N-S) with a possible entrance at the SE and a possible internal wall. A large assemblage of early Neolithic pottery was recovered from the slot trenches and post holes. It produced three C14 dates varying from calibrated dates of 3939-3702 to 3711-3656 BC. The house was found in association with two other Neolithic structures (MO031-124---- and MO031-125----). (Walsh 2006, 405; 2011, 509-12).

Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 03E0888). It is situated immediately to the N of a NW-SE section of a small meandering river which forms part of the Glyde river system. Excavation revealed a spread of burnt material (c. 15m E-W x 5m N-S; max. D 0.5m) with a sub-rectangular trough underneath it (c. 3m x 1.2m; D 0.5m). The trough had a large timber plank at the base of it. The oak plank produced a calibrated C14 date of 1873-1134 BC. The remains of a burnt mound (MO031-139----) was found on the S side of the stream in Cloghvally Lower townland, jut to the W and another fulacht fia (MO031-134----) is c. 40m to the SW on the N side of the stream.

A single supine inhumation, orientated E-W, was discovered close to the river prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 03E0888). This was an adult of indeterminate sex aged between 33 and 48 years and produced a calibrated radiocarbon date of AD 1216-1286 (Walsh 2012, 98). A small quantity of disarticulated were found further W.

Archaeological excavation (03E0888) prior to roadworks recorded a corn-drying kiln as an irregularly-shaped cut (dims 2.9m x 1.1m; D c. 04m) containing a single charcoal-rich layer over layers of ash and burnt clay at the bottom. A large quantity of barley and lesser amounts of wheat and other grains were recorded. A calibrated radiocarbon date of AD 433-634 was produced by a sample of hazelnuts shells and an oats sample produced a calibrated date of AD 426-592).

Discovered prior to road construction (Excavation Licence No. 03E1254). Situated in a low lying area, in a S-curving loop of a small meandering stream at a point where it changes from a general N-S course to a general E-W course. The burnt mound (MO031-139---) and fulacht fia (MO031-127----) are further E on the same stream. A spread of burnt stone material (dims 8m x 5m; max. D 0.4m) was initially uncovered. Excavation of this revealed two hearths, a posthole and two troughs. The smaller trough (1.4m N-S x 1.23m E-W) had 14 waterlogged planks at its base and the larger trough (1.74m N-S x 1.55m E-W) had a large flat stone at its base. A plank from the trough produced a calibrated C14 date of 1377-896 BC (Walsh 2011, 517-8).
