What is recorded here

Beagh holds a faded ringfort where a tree-lined scarp still marks the edge of a forgotten house. The earth has softened the boundary, yet the oval shape remains large enough to wrap a small life around itself. A field wall presses close on one side, and another earthwork waits fifty metres east, suggesting the land once belonged to more than one claim. People may have lived inside that circle before grass and time erased the doors.

On a low rise in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 27.5m, E-W 21m) defined by a tree-lined scarp. A field wall runs close to the scarp face at N. An earthwork (GA006-009----) lies c. 50m to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
