What is recorded here
Killogilleen passage is a narrow drystone tunnel, 2.7m long and 0.7m high, running north-south beside Killogilleen Church in County Galway. Its south end opens into a longer hollow with a displaced lintel, suggesting the route once continued further. Built low and tight, it may have hidden people, goods or memory from the field above.
On a rise within a field system (GA104-148001-) and c. 40m to the W of 'Killogilleen Church' (GA104-148004-). This drystone-built Man-made underground passage (L 2.7m; Wth 1.5m; H 0.7m) runs N-S. Access is gained at its S end. A drystone-lined hollow (L 3m) with one displaced roof lintel indicates that it extended further to the S. (McCaffrey 1952, 231, no. 78)
