What is recorded here

West of the ringfort in County Galway, a narrow underground chamber cuts through the earth like a forgotten breath. Its collapsed western passage still holds the shape of human hands, though time has buried the far end in stone. The cave does not demand entry; it waits for the person reckless enough to listen.

Within W half of a ringfort (GA057-058----). This Man-made underground passage consists of a rectangular hollow (L 6.8m, Wth 2.9m), running E-W, which leads to an inaccessible drystone-built passage (L 1.5m) at W end. From a small opening under a displaced roof lintel, it appears that W end of the passage has collapsed. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
