What is recorded here
Depicted on the 25-inch OS map (1892) as a large rectangular enclosure (82m N-S; 67m E-W) with a break (Wth 45m) in bank along E side. According to Quinlan (1943), 'the castle [Beal castle] must have been a very expansive building on the ground, surrounding the ruins are still enclosed by a rampart of great strength. It must have been 160ft in diameter at the time of occupation'.
