What is recorded here
Grovebeg holds a fifty-metre circular enclosure beside a larger ringfort, suggesting a settled community rather than a lonely outpost. The land has kept both shapes through centuries of change, inviting imagination about the people who lived between them.
A roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) identified on aerial photographs (ASIAP (175) 9-11, 3 April 2001) and visible on satellite imagery (OS Ortho 2005-2012). A large ringfort (KK027-041----) is located c. 40m to the SE.
