What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Aggard Beg stands as a well-preserved circular rath thirty-six point eight metres across, marked by two banks and a central ditch on a southeast-facing slope. Its eastern entrance remains a clear gap two point eight metres wide, possibly reinforced long ago by stone now hidden beneath sod. Modern gaps and cultivation ridges have worn parts of the structure, yet the basic shape endures in pastureland, inviting wonder about the people who built it and the lives they led within its rings.

On a SE-facing slope in pastureland. Well-preserved circular rath (diam. 36.8m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A causewayed entrance gap (Wth 2.8m) is visible at E. Some stone protruding from the sod cover here may be the remains of a stone revetment. Numerous modern gaps cut the inner bank in NW sector. Cultivation ridges encroach upon the outer bank at E.
