What is recorded here

No visible entrance, no chamber, no vault. Only a long shallow hollow under the grass and a second faint line crossing it. The survey called that an L-shaped passage because the shapes still align. Alignment is not invention. It is the remains of judgement. Someone dug or built under that ringfort, perhaps to store, hide, exclude or preserve. The earth has taken back most of the meaning. The measuring rod still finds the shape because the shape resists forgetting.

Within the interior of a ringfort (GA060-134----). A poorly preserved drystone-built Man-made underground passage, L-shaped in plan, consisting of two chambers. Most of the 1st chamber (L 10.5m) has collapsed and is indicated by a hollow running NNW-SSE. The SSE end is intact but is almost completely choked up with soil. The 2nd chamber (L c. 6.6m) lies to S and runs WSW-ENE. A gap in the roof at WSW end indicates that it too is also filled with soil. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
