What is recorded here

Under the northwest edge of a Galway ringfort, an L-shaped hollow bends from east to west before turning south, its six-metre arm joined by a shorter four-metre chamber. A tall limestone upright stands nearby, locally believed to mark the entrance, while two displaced boulders lie scattered at the western end and further south. The passage may have served as a hidden refuge, a storage hole or a ceremonial path, but its true purpose has faded into the dark earth beneath the ancient fort.

In NW quadrant of a ringfort (GA005-071----). An L-shaped hollow, long axis (L 6m) running E-W, short axis (L 4m), extending from SE end and running N-S. Two displaced boulders lie at W end and 9m to S, a large limestone upright is locally believed to mark the entrance to the Man-made underground passage.
