What is recorded here

Within S half of a rath (GA054-017----). Well-preserved, twin-chambered, drystone-built souterrain. A creep connects first chamber (L 8.8m), running N-S, to a second (L 5.75m) which runs E-W. There are openings at either end, one in the fosse of the rath at SE and the other close to E end of the second chamber: both are probably modern breaches. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
