What is recorded here

Keeloges holds a true earthen ringfort, not a fairy tale, though local names often twist the truth. The oval bank measures forty metres east-west and twenty-nine north-south, cutting through pasture near Ardrahin. It appeared on maps in 1840 and 1897, surviving field changes and time. People may have lived there before boundaries were drawn, but the earth remembers shape while forgetting names.

In pasture, 50 m E of townland boundary with Ardrahin. Enclosures (LI049-153\155----) lie 80m to the SW and 22m to the SE, respectively. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map as a sunken circular-shaped area enclosed by a bank, intersected at NE and SW by a post-1700 field boundary running N-S and at E by a post-1700 field boundary running E-W. Depicted on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a raised oval-shaped area (dims. c. 29m N-S; 40m E-W) defined enclosed by a bank from SW-W-N-NE reduced to a scarp elsewhere, incorporated into a field boundary from NE-S-SW. Tree-covered visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages. See attached Google Earth orthoimages.
