Man-made underground passage in Carrowroe North (athenry By.)

On the summit of a flat-topped hillock in undulating pastureland. Described by Cody (1989, 309, no. 132) as a blocked-up roughly L-shaped Man-made underground passage (L 24m). The long axis (L 14m; Wth 1.3m) ran WSW-ENE and consisted of a grass-covered passage; one roof lintel was visible in situ at its ENE end. Immediately to the E another lintel lay displaced among loose stones. The short axis (L 12m), which was indicated by a slight depression, extended from the ENE end and ran in a NE direction to a low grass-covered mound of stones. No visible surface trace survives as it is now obscured by a mound of field-clearance rubble. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 9 September 2019
