Names:

According to O’Donovan’s Field Name Books 1838, the standard name given to the townland was Dooghta and Dubhachta was its official Irish form. The townland name was spelled ‘Dooghty’ according to O’Donovan. He further gives village names, such as Dooghta, Aughayoughta, Gorreenmore, Ballintubber and Kaunwaum, Dooghta Browne, Uggool, Parkaurilling and Illaunnagcorp. Dooghta mountain, in 1838 was called locally Crickyooghtha. (Cnoc Dhubhachta). Illaunnagorp – called Oileáin na gCorp locally, was apparently a village near the holy well. Parkawillin – “Páirc a Mhullin” or locally known as Millpark was also known as Paurk a Willing.

According to O’Donovan’s letters there are two holy wells in Dooghta, one dedicated to the Virgin Mary and the other to St. Feichín, the Patron of Cong, and near the latter a flag stone called leac-feichin, by which men were put to the ordeal! For a full account see Otway’s publication – A Tour in Ireland, Ask about Connaught. http://www.askaboutireland – this was written by the Reverend Cesar Otway, an historian/anthropologist (1780 – 1842). Caesar Otway was born at Castle Otway near Nenagh, Co. Tipperary, Ireland in 1780. He was an Irish author and clergyman who wanted to study and improve the condition of the poor. Wikipedia.

O’Donovan’s Field Name Books 1838:

According to O’Donovan the townland of Dooghta was comprised of 1567 acres, 0 roods and 40 perches. The townland is located in the civil parish of Cong, in the Barony of Ross and in the County of Galway.

In 1838, the landlord for this townland was Sir Richard O’Donnell of Newport, while the Agent was Alexander Clandenning, Esq. of Westport.

O’Donovan tells us that all the townland was under lease, with a bulked rent of £155.00 yearly. He further states that the soil was comprised of a large tract of flat bog, mixed and healthy pasture, along a ridge of steep mountain, which was pasturable. Some arable mountain was contained on the mountain side and at the foot of the mountain. In 1838, crops were not good and were comparatively worse that year than usual. O’Donovan says that there were 2 holy wells, namely Tubberchuan and Tubbermurra, joining each other.
