Place & story
An oval traced in the grass
Jean Farrelly’s official monument record describes an oval enclosure measuring about twenty-four metres north to south and twenty-seven metres east to west. Its bank and outer ditch survive only around parts of the perimeter, with other stretches reduced to low scarps. A field boundary and drain cut through the north-western edge. A slight slope also crosses the interior. The record places the monument in both Ballybeg and Gortnahahaboy, distinguishing this small earthwork from the many other places called Ballybeg. [2]
