What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort or ringfort in Keeloges (athlone South By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. The site sits on the crest of a ridge, where disused buildings still occupy a rectangular enclosure bounded by masonry walls that reach a NNW-SSE lane. Although maps from 1837 and 1915 marked the area as a D-shaped or oval field with a curved bank, no physical trace of that ancient enclosure remains visible today.

Marked as a D-shaped field (dims c. 55 E-W; 45m N-S) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as an oval enclosure (dims c. 50m E-W; c. 45m N-S) defined by a curved field bank W-N-S with buildings outside the perimeter at S on the 1915 ed. Situated on the crest of a ridge. The disused buildings survive within a rectangular enclosure defined by masonry walls extending SW to a NNW-SSE lane, but there is no evidence of the enclosure.
