What is recorded here
No visible surface trace survives today, but a small open circle marked the centre of the ringfort interior on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map. That fleeting line suggests a passage cut beneath the ground, perhaps linking rooms, hiding people or carrying water through darkness. The earth has taken back the entrance, leaving only a ghost of a hole and a warning that the ground may still hide rooms built by human hands.
Within a ringfort (GA031-057----). Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map by a small open circle in centre of the interior and labelled as a 'Subterraneous Passage'. No visible surface trace survives.
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).
