What is recorded here

Seven hundred metres of dark water-cut passage stretches beneath Galway limestone, housing lesser horseshoe bats that still flip through the chamber air. The cave keeps its own calendar: dripping walls, hidden ledges and a narrow throat that swallows lantern light. It is not a display cave, but a living borderland where human curiosity must pause before bat wings answer.

In the NW quadrant of the interior of a rath (GA113-106----). A linear depression (L 12m; Wth 2m), running NNW-SSE, may mark the site of the 'Cave' shown on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map.
