What is recorded here
Within S enclosure of a conjoined ringfort (GA016-042----). A much-collapsed drystone-built Man-made underground passage consisting of two chambers. The 1st chamber (L 9.2m, Wth 4.1m), running NE-SW, narrows towards SW end suggesting the presence of a creep. The 2nd chamber (L 11.8m, Wth 4.7m) to SW, running on an E-W axis, survives as a flat-bottomed hollow, apart from two corbels which remain in situ at SE end.
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).
