What is recorded here
Keeloges holds a broken fairy fort where a field boundary cut through ancient defences. The scarped ring, about twenty-eight metres wide, still shows its outer bank and fosse beneath pasture grass. People may have lived there before boundaries were drawn, but the land now treats the ring as a minor wrinkle rather than a room for memory.
In pasture, 510m W of the townland boundary with Park. Enclosure (LI049-163----) lies 230m to SE and earthwork (LI049-161----) 110m to NW. Depicted on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a raised circular-shaped area (diam. c. 28m) defined by a scarp, fosse and outer bank from NW-S-SW reduced to a scarp elsewhere. Truncated at N by field boundary curving from NW-N-NE. External fosse and outer bank from E-N-NW and at E. Scrub-covered monument visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages.
