What is recorded here

Keeloges holds a fifty-four-metre circular enclosure in wet pasture, its ancient bank still visible through bushes and satellite imagery. The 1897 map showed trees inside the ring, suggesting people lived there long before modern fields cut across it. A possible ringfort waits twenty-three metres further northwest, creating a strange neighbourhood of forgotten homes beneath the grass.
In wet pasture, 420m W of the townland boundary with Park. Possible ringfort (LI049-162----) lies 230m to NW. Depicted on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a raised circular-shaped area (diam. c. 54m) enclosed by a bank with interior planted with trees. Outline of monument delimited by bushes is visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages where it is intersected at NE and SW by field boundaries running NE-SW. See attached Google Earth orthoimages. Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date of upload: 29 October 2021
