What is recorded here
It has been suggested that a structure demolished 'almost a century ago' in this townland after an animal was caught in it was probably a court tomb (P.J. McGill 1970). Nothing further is known of this.

Megalithic tomb in Beagh is likely a court tomb, dating to the Neolithic period. Its significance lies in its potential contribution to understanding early megalithic funerary practices in the region, though details are limited due to its destruction.
