What is recorded here

Beagh More holds a broad earthen ring on a drumlin ridge, its grassy floor wide enough for a hundred people to circle twice before touching the bank. The earth rises a metre outside and dips thirty centimetres inside, marking a boundary rather than a barrier. No gate remains visible, suggesting the entrance depended on memory, season or knowledge now lost. The shape resists easy explanation because it refuses to point one way.

Located on a rise toward the top of the E-facing slope of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 48m E-W; 44m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 3.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1m) and hedge NW-N and SSE-SW (Wth of base 2.7m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.8m) which is reduced to a scarp (Wth 1.5m; H 0.6m) SW-NW and N-SE (Wth 2.5m; max. H 1.7m) with a hedge. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
