What is recorded here
Cave is a man-made underground passage within the centre of a rath in County Galway, Ireland. The drystone-built rectangular chamber measures 2.3m long, 1.2m wide and 1.25m high, running NE-SW. Access is gained at the NE end where some collapse has occurred. Two steps protrude from the base of the collapsed material, though it remains unclear whether they were an original feature.
