What is recorded here
Killagh More holds a narrow drystone chamber inside an ancient ringfort, waiting for breath and memory to give it shape. The nearby stone-lined depression may belong to the same forgotten purpose, suggesting a hidden district rather than a lone chamber. People may have stored grain, hidden tools or simply listened to darkness when storms closed the sky. The passage does not need a dramatic claim because its shape already resists ordinary explanation.
Within a ringfort (GA086-166----). Drystone-built subrectangular chamber (L 3.3m) running NNW-SSE; present access at NNW end. Some 13.5m to NW is a subrectangular stone-lined depression (L 8m) running WNW-ESE; possibly associated.
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).
