What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Keelogyboy is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Keelogyboy, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies gently undulating pasture beside a small stream thirty metres west. A broad earth bank once enclosed a twenty metre circular area, though southeastern sections now show only a scarped edge with faint bank traces. The original entrance remains unrecognisable despite moderate views in all directions.
