Keleriškiai airfield was an airfield 150 kilometers west-northwest of Vilnius.
The airfield was built by order of the Lithuanian SSR (a state within the Soviet Union) Council of Ministers in the 1975-1985 timeframe.
It was used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot. It consisted of a small runway, a small platform to the south of the runway and a hangar/shed. After Lithuanian independence the airfield was abandoned.
No photos or maps of the airfield while in use have been located
Undated aerial photography of the airfield (Google Earth) suggests the airfields runway remained in reasonable shape until 2010. After the shed started being used again, the runway began to be used to dump dirt however. As an airfield, it is abandoned and therefore officially closed to all traffic.

Even this cloud does not hide that little had changed on the runway in 2010 (Google Earth)
This March 2013 photo shows that the shed had gained an annex and that the runway was partially covered with dirt, making it unusable (Google Earth).
More of the runway was covered wuth dirt and debris in this April 2014 photo (Google Earth)
