What is recorded here

Cooladooaun holds a 1.6m sandstone pillar on a shallow grassy slope, its uneven skin marked by small erosive depressions while a ringfort watches from 135m away. The stone does not need to be tall or perfect; it preserves the shape of patience, standing through rain, grass and forgotten traffic. People may have passed it for centuries, touching its warm surface or simply noticing it against the sky.

On N-facing slope of a low rise in undulating grassland. An irregularly shaped standing stone of sandstone (H 1.6m). The numerous small depressions on its surface are probably due to erosion. A ringfort (GA044-019----) lies 135m to NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
