What is recorded here

That is the only way to judge the story because the facts above and the visible source being clear. An isolated drystone tunnel lies blocked beneath hilly Galway grassland, perhaps marking a vanished fort according to Neary. The roof gap admits only a thin column of daylight into darkness, inviting imagination rather than certainty.

On level ground in otherwise hilly grassland. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1930) as an isolated Man-made underground passage. It is inaccessible but from a small gap in the roof, it appears to consist of an almost completely blocked-up drystone-built passage running on a NW-SE axis. According to Neary (1914, 120, no. 25), it 'marks the site or proximity of a ravelled fort', no visible surface trace of which survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
