Beagh Castle (LI003-002---) stands directly atop short cliff which forms part of S shore of Shannon estuary, a short distance W of Beagh Quay. The precise location of a salmon weir on the River Shannon which belonged to the estate of Beagh castle in the 17th century has not been identified. The Civil Survey of 1654-56 recorded that Major General Sir Hardress Waller was in possession in the two townlands of 'Beahy [Beagh] and Ballynehagulshy [Ballynaglish]' of a 'ruinous Castle, two good tenements, or dwelling houses, and 15 Cottages one Salmon weare Seate on the River of Shannon' (Simington 1938, 359).
