Man-made underground passage in Cloran

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Cloran holds a hidden chamber beneath its rath, marked only by a protruding slab and a heap of small stones. The ground seems to breathe around the buried door, waiting for someone brave enough to lift the stone and discover whether the darkness contains memory, danger or forgetting.
A heap of small stones close to the centre of the interior of the rath (GA096-061----) and the presence of a large slab protruding from the ground could suggest the possible presence of a Man-made underground passage (E. Cody pers. comm.). Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 29 November 2017
