What is recorded here
No. Of two or more persons, one must be a fool or the other a liar.
Within NW quadrant of a ringfort (GA017-151----). Described by Neary (1914, 112, no. 45) as 'an open Man-made underground passage roofed with massive flag-stones'. All that is now visible is a shallow linear hollow (L 5.2m, Wth 4m) running NNW-SSE. A single roof lintel, apparently still in situ, is visible at SSE end. Several other slabs are visible in the immediate vicinity.
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).
