What is recorded here

In the north half of a Galway ringfort, a grassy hollow still marks the cave the Land Commission buried during the 1930s. Its lost depth may have given people dark room, hidden storage or a way through solid ground. Forgetting that much is easier than remembering the shape of what was taken.

In N half of a ringfort (GA042-097----). What is visible is a grassy linear hollow (L 11.7m) running NW-SE. It is up to 5.9m in width and 1.1m in depth. According to local information, this is the site of a 'cave' which was filled in by the Land Commission in the 1930s. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
