What is recorded here
Keelogesbeg held a children's burial ground inside an ancient enclosure, yet no grave marker or mound remains visible today. Local memory preserves the function of the lost ground, suggesting innocent lives were laid to rest beneath soil that has since returned to ordinary use. The absence of a trace does not erase the purpose; it merely removes the warning that children, not adults, occupied that forgotten space.
Within an enclosure (GA007-073----). According to local information, this was the site of a CBG, no visible surface trace of which survives.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
