Man-made underground passage in Caherbulligin

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Underground passage in Caherbulligin, County Galway. It lies within the SW quadrant of a rath and runs SE-NW beneath one visible roof lintel. Collapse and dense growth have hidden its length, leaving only a narrow stone edge to mark the route people once cut through the earth.
Within the SW quadrant of a rath (GA096-024----). This Man-made underground passage is inaccessible due to collapse and it is so densely overgrown that is was not possible to estimate its length. One roof lintel was visible, indicating that it ran SE-NW in direction. (McCaffrey 1952, 150, no. 49) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 10 January 2017
