What is recorded here
Forty feet across and gone, the ringfort at Ballyegny Beg has been erased by plough and time. What remains is a shallow dip in the grass, a ghost of a circle on the western slope. The land has forgotten its own shape, keeping only the memory of a border between inside and outside.
In gently undulating pasture, on W-facing slope and immediately W of public road. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m), has been levelled. Only indication of site is slight hollow in field of grass.
