What is recorded here

Associated with a ringfort (GA059-028----). Claffey (1983, 151) notes that the oval hollow (NW-SE 6m) in N half 'may be a collapsed souterrain'. According to local tradition, there is a 'cave' within this ringfort, the entrance to which was in another 'hollow' outside the 'fort' to N: not located. A local man remembered his father going into it. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
