What is recorded here
Cartrondoogan holds a shallow six-metre depression inside a ringfort, marked by scattered limestone slabs at its north end. The passage has collapsed or been robbed, yet its shape still points NNW-SSE through grass and forgotten time. It may have hidden people, tools or memory from storms and invaders. What is left is a hollow tongue of stone, waiting to be remembered.
In N half of a ringfort (GA073-054----). What is visible is a shallow overgrown depression (L 6.15m, Wth 2m), its long axis running NNW-SSE. Some large limestone slabs are visible at N end. The remains are consistent with a collapsed and/or robbed Man-made underground passage.
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).
