What is recorded here
Keelogalabaun holds a broken fairy fort where a field boundary cuts through ancient earth. The remaining ring measures thirty metres across, but ploughing and development have erased the entrance and half the story. What is left is a low ridge of soil and stone, wide enough to walk along but too thin to stop anyone. The fort has become a boundary marker, its shape reduced to a line on the land.
On a low hillock in rolling countryside. A raised circular area (diam. 30.4m) enclosed by a partially denuded, wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.8m; H 0.3-0.8m). There is no trace of a fosse. The rath is divided into unequal portions by an ENE-WSW field boundary. The smaller portion, to the NNW, has been levelled and is not visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable.
