What is recorded here

Nine metres of drystone chamber stretch east to west inside a Galway ringfort, then force a crawling turn into a smaller northeast room. The builder denied easy entry and comfortable observation, shaping stone to exclude rather than invite. People may have hidden goods, escaped storms or simply refused to be watched. The passage still works because refusal is easier to build than hospitality.

Within W half of a ringfort (GA073-126----). A well-preserved drystone-built Man-made underground passage, roughly L-shaped in plan, consisting of two chambers linked by a creep. Access via opening a E end of 1st chamber (L 9m) which runs E-W. A creep at its NW end leads to 2nd chamber (L 4.4m) running NE-SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
