What is recorded here

In SW quadrant of a ringfort (GA071-014----). All that is visible is an overgrown curving depression (L c. 13m, Wth 2m), up to 1m in depth. It runs NW-SE (L c. 7m) before curving to E (L 6m). Three large stones, possible roof lintels, are visible within the depression. The landowner stated that the souterrain was accessible c. 30 years ago and that the interior was constructed of drystone-walling. 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
