What is recorded here
Rathreagh Beg holds a twenty-metre circular enclosure beside two ringforts, marking a settled cluster rather than a lonely outpost. The low bank still traces the edge of a life where people moved between defined spaces, tended grass, and shaped the land with repeated labour. That much is visible. The rest belongs to imagination, but the circle resists forgetting because it served someone and survived them.
In grassland, ringfort (LI028-044---) 40m to SW, second ringfort (LI028-045----) 90m to NW . Outline of circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 20m) defined by a low bank visible on OSi orthophoto. Faint outline of cropmark visible on Digital Globe orthophoto taken 2011-13.
