What is recorded here
Ballymurragh East holds a circular enclosure between two ringforts, its scarped edge barely forty centimetres high but wide enough to mark a boundary that pasture has since softened. The ground inside remains level while the outer world undulates, suggesting people once shaped a small clear space for ritual, work or residence before nature reclaimed the line. That the scarp fades into a natural ridge rather than disappearing entirely implies human hands and earthworks met instead of competing.
In undulating pasture, on S side of stream; directly between two ringforts (LI036-108--- & LI036-194---). Circular area (10m N-S; 11m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.4m; Wth 1.7m). Scarp fades out SSE->SSW where edge of site merges with a low natural ridge. Interior level and under pasture.
