Fort, Craig Mony (NH 500 295). This fort is situated on the tip of the ridge that separates Glen Urquhart from Glen Coiltie. The ridge ends at a height of about 450 ft OD in a triangular promontory, the E and NE flanks of which are sheer cliffs. It is distant half a mile N of Balmacaan House. The fort has been mutilated by the construction of paths, and all that can be distinguished is the ruin of a stone wall some 100ft in length that runs across the neck of the W of the promontory along the crest of an outcrop ridge at a distance of 150ft from the E extremity. The wall probably turned E at both ends to continue along the edges of the promontory, but only very slight traces of this remain. The entrance is obscured and the interior featureless.
