What is recorded here
Ballynagaul once held a twenty-metre earthen ring on a north-facing slope, but that shape has vanished from the pasture. The land keeps no visible scar of the fort, only a quiet absence where a boundary once stood. What was built there has been returned to the soil, leaving behind a gap the memory must cross.
In pasture, on N-facing slope. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected.
