The fort at Craig Mony occupies an isolated spur (137m OD) with extensive views over Urquhart Bay and the confluence of the Rivers Enrick and Coiltie. It appears from measured survey that the fort occupied only the highest point of the spur, an area that measures about 30m from NE to SW by 20m overall. The wall, which can be traced for 16m along a crest on the SW of the knoll, returning for a distance of 11m along the S, measures about 4m in thickness and up to 0.5m in height and there are edge-set stones on both the inner and outer face. The entrance was not located and no features were recorded in the interior.
