What is recorded here

Lavallyconor holds an L-shaped underground passage beside a cashel, its long arm stretching nearly ten metres through rubble and forgotten purpose. The NE end vanishes under a mound of broken stone, while scattered slabs nearby suggest a roof once spanned the way. People may have walked this dark bend to hide, worship, or simply avoid the rain, but the passage no longer answers that question. What remains is a narrow hole in the earth, wide enough for one person to crawl through and deep enough to swallow every certainty about why it was dug.

Within the SW quadrant of a cashel (GA104-170001-). This partially destroyed Man-made underground passage (L >14.8m) is indicated by an overgrown and rubble-strewn L-shaped passage. The long axis (L 9.7m) runs WNW-ESE and the short axis (L 5.1m) extends off its NE end and runs NE-SW. At NE it disappears under a mound of rubble. The passage varies in width from 1.3m to 3.9m. Some broken slabs in the immediate vicinity may be the remains of roof lintels. (McCaffrey 1952, 235, no. 96a) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 10 October 2019
