What is recorded here

Ballymaglancy Cave is a 726-metre underground river in County Galway where lesser horseshoe bats still fly through darkness that has kept its shape since the Carboniferous age. The townland name points to the Clancy or Glancy family, while Pollwalter preserves the memory of a mill pond beside the entrance. People may have followed water into that chamber long before maps existed, listening for the sound of life beneath the limestone.
