Man-made underground passage in Lattoon

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'.
