What is recorded here

Cats Cave is a recorded cave in County Mayo, Ireland. Whether it is a shallow rock ledge or a deep underground chamber remains unknown. The name suggests people once lived near it, feared it or joked about it. That much is certain: the place still exists, and it is waiting to be described.
