Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Within the interior of a ringfort (GA060-106----). A drystone-built Man-made underground passage, roughly U-shaped in plan, consisting of two chambers linked by a creep. The 1st chamber (L 7.7m, Wth 1.7m) runs roughly NE-SW. A creep (Wth 0.55m) at SW end gives access to 2nd chamber (L 9.5m, Wth 1.3m) which is bow-shaped and curves from SW to NE. Access is gained by openings at NE end of both chambers. 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
