What is recorded here

Beheenagh holds four or five stone chambers, some square and some curved like a bowl, pressed against the inside of its great wall. They survive only as shallow depressions lined with collapsed rocks, the largest measuring twenty-two and a half centimetres across and twelve centimetres deep. One curved foundation sits outside the wall near the southern entrance, while another may have sheltered sheep in later times. The chambers belong to the fort itself, built into its frame rather than added beside it.

According to Cuppage (1986, 81-2, no. 259), 'Four or 5 sub-rectangular or D-shaped structures [(KE037-048002-, KE037-048003-, KE037-048004-, KE037-048005-, KE037-048006-)] abut the inner face of the wall. These survive as depressions lined by collapsed walling, and the largest [KE037-048002-] measures 2.25m x 1.6m internally x 1.2m in depth. Another D-shaped foundation [KE037-048003-] abuts the outside of the wall, a little N of the S entrance. It measures 2m x 2.75m internally and its wall is up to .4m high. Another large D-shaped depression [KE037-048004-] in the external collapse, to S of the same entrance, may be a relatively recent sheep-shelter'. Though Cuppage (ibid.) mentions 'four or 5', only four are shown on fig. 55, p. 82. However, a plan in P.J. Lynch's 1899 article (fig.'Map plan of fort', p. 13) shows the fifth structure, to the S of the S entrance, and abutting the outside of the promontory wall. The structures have been identified in as much as is possible, given the information provided by Cuppage and Lynch. However, a brief inspection of the structures may be necessary to clearly identify and match the structures shown on the plans with the measurements provided by Cuppage.
