What is recorded here
Carrownaglogh holds a forgotten chamber where human hands first shaped stone into a home. The rath stands as a circular mound, and within it a smaller ring of stones marks the hut. Time has broken the wall and scattered the stones, but the shape remains. The place remembers that people lived there, built there, and belonged there before records were kept.
In a rath (MA031-032----). This possible hut site, of uncertain date, is located on a roughly circular raised area (diam. c. 8m) in the centre of the rath. It consists of a circular area (diam. c. 3-3.5m) defined by remnants of a stone bank/wall (Wth 0.8m; H 0.2-0.4m), little more than a gapped ring of loose, moss-covered stones, and very poorly preserved on the W half. A collapsed wall -a loose jumble of stones- extends from the rath bank at S through the interior to N, and appears to curve around the raised area on which the possible hut site is located.
