[1] Mount Moran Battery is situated on a sloping ridge above the seasonally active Agate Creek, west of Forsayth.

The isolated five head stamp battery was erected in 1924 to crush ore won from the three reefs worked in the area - the Mona, Iona and Bosker.

Here, the principal owners formed a syndicate and amalgamated their holdings in a 16 acres (6.5 ha) lease.

The claims in the area were the Blue Spec, Bosker, Brown Hill, Dinkum, Finger Print, Lucky Hit, Iona and Peg Leg, with the deepest shafts of 22 and 27 metres (72 and 89 ft) being sunk on the Peg Leg and Finger Print respectively.

In 1936 the Mount Moran Battery crushed 157 long tons (160 t) of ore to yield 58 ounces (1,600 g) of gold.

A colonial boiler, the remains of a steam engine with fly wheel and several berdan pans are located alongside the stamp battery.
