What is recorded here
Keeloges holds a broken fairy fort where a road cut through the eastern bank and erased half the circle. The remaining stone ring stretches twenty-five metres across grassland, marking a residence older than memory and half-swallowed by modern passage. What the road took, the field still holds: a boundary drawn by human hands, now sharing its space with wheels and rain.
In undulating grassland. Poorly preserved roughly circular rath (D 25m) defined by alow bank from SSE through W to NNE; no visible surface trace survives at E where a road encircles the monument.
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).
