Man-made underground passage in Ballycasey

On a S-facing slope. According to local information, a 'cave' was discovered here many years ago while digging potatoes. It was subsequently closed up because of danger to livestock. The access appears to have been through a lintelled roof and the interior was described as 'square'. No visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
