What is recorded here

Two stone lintels still protrude through Galway pastureland, marking entrances that may join beneath the grass. One belongs to the passage, the other to the cave listed beside it on the old map, and a collapsed stone pile lies near the second. Whether they form a single breathing tunnel or leave two separate holes in the earth remains unknown.

In pastureland. On the 1933 edition of the OS 6-inch map the terms ‘Man-made underground passage’ (GA104-256001-)and ‘Cave’ (GA104-256001-) are written beside two small circles, c. 15m apart. A protruding roof lintel is all that is evident at the point marked ‘Man-made underground passage’. Of the ‘Cave’ to the N, another protruding roof lintel is evident, c. 8.4m to the W of which is a pile of collapsed stones. Possibly one Man-made underground passage but it was not possible to determine if both elements are interconnected.
