What is recorded here
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Beagh (kiltartan By.) stands on a NNW-facing slope in County Galway, Ireland. A collapsed drystone wall still marks a subcircular cashel forty metres wide, though scrub and a later field wall have swallowed much of its edge. The gap at WSW appears modern, suggesting the old boundary was broken long after it stopped belonging to one household.
On a NNW-facing slope in grassland, c. 150m S of the Beagh River. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (40m E-W; 36m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall best preserved at W. A gap at WSW appears to be modern. The enclosing element is overlain by a field wall at W, and at NE it is obscured by dense scrub growth.
