Keeill Vael

Archaeology

The exact site of the keeill known as Keeill Vael, which gave its name to Glion Keeill Vael, mentioned in a deed of property near the head of Glen Auldyn, has not been located,  Tthe name would seem to refer to the little glen formed by a stream from Barrule running north from the mountain road and opening into the larger glen between Ballameanagh and Balleighteragh.  The approximate site of the Keeill would appear to have been in the fields shown as Plots 3243 or 3244 on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map.
