What is recorded here
Largan, Ireland: A long chamber runs beneath a ringfort, its stones still set though both ends have been broken open. The passage cuts northeast to southwest through the northwest quadrant, and a wider hollow continues from the far end, suggesting more structure was lost. Someone built a route through solid ground, perhaps to keep dry, hide, or move between parts of the settlement without crossing the yard in the rain.
In NW quadrant of a ringfort (GA042-167001-). Drystone-built chamber (L >4.4m) running NE-SW. Access is gained via modern breaches at both ends. A hollow (L >6m), with traces of drystone-walling, extends from SW end and cuts right through the bank of the rath: probably a robbed-out section.
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).
