What is recorded here

Twenty-five metres of drystone chamber and creep burrow beneath the north-west edge of the Galway rath, an L-shaped hole cut for storage, ritual or simply stubborn privacy. The first chamber still stands tall enough to walk through, but the third has collapsed into darkness, swallowing whatever it kept.

In the NW sector of a rath (GA106-158----). This drystone-built Man-made underground passage (L >20.5m), roughly L-shaped in plan, consists of three chambers and two creeps. Access is gained at the SE end of the 1st chamber (L 5m; Wth 1.6m max.; H 1.76m max.) which runs SE-NW. Traces of the side-walls (L 2m) extend to the SE indicating that the chamber extended further in this direction. At its NW end a simple creep (Wth 0.9m) leads to the 2nd chamber (L 7.5m; H 1.45m max.), which also runs SE-NW. Another creep at the N end of W side-wall leads to the 3rd chamber (L >6m) which is inaccessible due to collapse. It appears to run NE-SW.
