What is recorded here

Cloghnakeava holds a collapsed stone ring above the Beagh River, its thirty-five metre circle broken by trees and time. The local name suggests fairies, but the underground passage in the southern half points to human hands, perhaps hiding grain, tools or people when danger approached. The fort has lost most of its wall, yet the ground still remembers the shape of a home built to resist being forgotten.

On a steep rise in farmland, some 120m N of the Beagh River. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 35m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall; traces of inner and outer wall-facing are visible intermittently. Several trees are growing along the enclosing element. An external fosse, apparently modern, is visible at N. A Man-made underground passage (GA129-009001-) lies in the S half of the interior.
