What is recorded here
Kilmore is a man-made underground passage hidden within a rath in County Galway. A rectangular depression stretches more than eleven metres through the southern interior, while displaced slabs at the far end suggest a roof that once resisted the weight of the earth. The passage may have served as a cellar, refuge or ceremonial chamber, but its true purpose has faded into local memory.
Within a rath (GA117-057----). According to local information, there is a Man-made underground passage in the rath. Its site may be marked by a rectangular depression (N-S; L >11.6m; Wth 2.4m; D c. 0.6m) in the S sector of the interior. At the S end of the depression a number of large slabs may be displaced roof lintels.
