What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Beagh, Rahogarty North: a subcircular earthen ringfort near a hill summit, about forty metres north to south, with a bank running from southeast through west to north-northeast and a scarp at the southeast. Cattle gaps and a field wall have cut through it, yet the shape still reads as a made place rather than a heap of soil. People may have lived there, fenced it, forgotten it, or feared it; the earth keeps the outline while the story blunts.

Close to the summit of a hill in rolling grassland. Subcircular rath (N-S 40m), in fair condition, defined by a bank from SE through W to NNE, and by a scarp at SE. No visible surface trace survives from NNE to SE. The bank is breached by a number of cattle gaps and a field wall cuts the monument at NNW and NNE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
