What is recorded here
Dead men's Pass: human-cut, but tool marks have faded. Local memory still points to a hidden chamber beneath the green. The field gives no warning, only a slight dip and a change in air. What was built there has been forgotten, not lost.
In a hollow in a otherwise flat field. According to local tradition, there is a 'cave' here which is now blocked up. Possibly a natural limestone cave.
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).
