What is recorded here
Indicated is a small oval crannog in Corralough Lake, County Galway, measuring about twenty-four by thirteen metres and still crowded with rushes. It sits in the eastern half of the water, two hundred metres east of another known site, waiting for someone to wade through the reeds and discover what life left behind. The lake may have hidden a house, a garden or a forgotten chamber for centuries, preserving human choices beneath its green surface.
In E half of Corralough Lake, c. 200m E of GA006-057----. An oval island (E-W c. 24m, N-S c. 13m) overgrown with rushes. Not visited.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
