Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Keeloges

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Keeloges holds a grass-covered stone ring on a hillock above Glenade valley, preserving a western scarp and possible underground passage. The shape suggests people once built, heated, and hidden within the same ground now marked only by a low stone spread.
On top of a hillock on the floor of Glenade valley. Grass-covered subcircular area (int. dims 21.5m N-S; 18m E-W) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 2m-3m; H 0.2m), which is reduced to a stone-covered scarp (H 0.8-1.3m) with a berm (Wth 2m) and slight outer bank or wall (L 9m) at W. The possible Man-made underground passage (LE003-01602-) is in the interior at NW, and there is a possible sweathouse at E (LE003-016003-). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Revised by: Gearóid Conroy Date of revision: 4 November 2022
