What is recorded here
No visible entrance, no chamber, no depth. The ground keeps its shape while withholding its meaning. A rectangular hollow lies inside an old circular rath on a Galway rise, perhaps marking a lost passage or perhaps deceiving the eye.
On a rise in undulating grassland. Circular rath (D 27m) (GA073-141----), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The fosse and outer bank survive only at E and SW. A rectangular hollow, long axis running NE-SW, is visible in SW quadrant of the interior; a possible Man-made underground passage (GA073-141001-).
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).
