What is recorded here

Half a ringfort in County Galway still holds an L-shaped stone chamber, narrow enough to force a person into crawling before the second room appears. The first chamber runs north-south, the second east-west, and a short drop connects them like a hidden throat. Someone built that twist on purpose, perhaps to keep heat inside, perhaps to keep unwanted visitors out.

Within W half of a ringfort (GA028-042----). A well-preserved drystone-built Man-made underground passage, L-shaped in plan, consisting of two chambers connected by a creep. Access via modern opening at S end of 1st chamber (L c. 4.5m, Wth 1.28m) which runs N-S. The N end has partially collapsed. A drop-hole creep (L 2.35m, Wth 0.59m) extends off SE end and leads down to a tunnel (L 1.2m, Wth 0.48m) which accesses 2nd chamber (L 5m, Wth 1.36m) running E-W. Its E end has also collapsed. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
