What is recorded here

Ten metres of narrow drystone chamber breathe beneath a Galway rath, their hidden depth provoking more imagination than measurement. The blocked southern passage and distant air vent suggest a living underground route rather than a dead storage hole. People may have walked that dark line during storms, kept warm things from rain, or simply enjoyed the pleasure of disappearing beneath their own field.

Within the S half of a multivallate rath (GA104-052----). This well-preserved rectangular drystone-built Man-made underground passage consists of a chamber (L 9.9m; Wth 1.1m; H 1.2m), running NNW-SSE, in the SE quadrant of the interior of the rath. Access is gained at its SSE end. An air-vent is evident in the NNW end wall and a small recess is visible at the N end of the E wall. In the SW quadrant, an inaccessible passage (L c. 8.8m; Wth 1.9m) runs N-S. The present entrance at its S end is now blocked. These two sections probably form part of the same Man-made underground passage. (McCaffrey 1952, 215-16, no. 65) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 6 September 2019
