What is recorded here

Fairy forts are human ringforts, often farmsteads or settlements from the medieval or earlier periods, renamed through folklore. The earthen ridge at Moy Beg is a real archaeological site even though pasture and time have softened its shape.

At the N edge of a flat shelf in pasture. Hachured as a ringfort on the 1840 and 1919 OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Only vague undulations in the field remain however the site is visible on OSi MapGenie orthophotography (2013-2018) as a subcircular enclosure (max. diam. c. 60m N-S).
