What is recorded here

No visible surface trace survives, yet the name Caves remains within the rath. The underground passage may have offered refuge, storage or ritual entry when the land above was busy. People forgot the entrance or buried it under grass and time. The hole disappeared, but the name refused to leave.

Within the interior of a rath (GA113-103----). Named 'Caves' on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map and 'Cave' on the 1922 edition. No visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 15 February 2018
