What is recorded here

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).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LI003-002005
