What is recorded here
Keeloges holds a faded ringfort where a bank and ditch still curve across level grassland. The remaining arc spans roughly forty metres, while the rest has surrendered to time and turf. People may have lived, argued, loved and vanished inside that circle before the land forgot the shape.
In level grassland. Very poorly preserved rath (D c. 40m) defined by a bank and external fosse from SE through S to W. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere.
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).
