On a SW-facing slope in a house cluster. According to local tradition, 'a cave or tunnel' is said to run SW from this location for c. 1km before re-emerging in Caraunkeelwy td. No visible surface trace survives. The presence of a castle (GA070-088----) and the site of a 'R.C. Chapel' in the same area, raise the possibility that the 'cave' may not be a souterrain.
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).
