What is recorded here

That is the largest rectangular hollow known at the site, stretching twenty metres beside the ringfort scarp. Whether it was a hidden passage or a stone quarry remains unresolved, but its sharp edges and entrance-like gap suggest deliberate human shaping rather than natural decay. The missing structure may have been removed or buried, leaving behind a dark invitation to imagine what the builders concealed beneath the grass.

In SW quadrant of a ringfort (GA016-115----). What is visible is a large regular grassy rectangular flat-bottomed hollow (L 20m, Wth 10.3m), running NW-SE, situated immediately inside the scarp defining the monument. It is up to 1.45m in depth. At its NW end, an entrance-like gap opens through the face of the scarp. A considerable amount of stone is visible in the sides of the depression but no structural remains. Possibly a Man-made underground passage or a quarry pit. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
