What is recorded here

This Man-made underground passage, marked 'Cave' on the second edition of the OS map, is located in rough pasture on the NW side of Coongar Harbour. Its lintelled entrance faces S and measures .9m x .3m. It gives access to a drystone-built passage which is aligned N-S and measures c. 3m long and 1.1m wide. Its side-walls are crudely built and much collapsed. One of its roofing slabs has collapsed and blocks its inner end. A small group of boulders on the surface, 4m NW of the entrance, may indicate an extension of the Man-made underground passage in this direction. Cork University Press (1996), no. 904.

Explorer Tom Tahilla Chapel gave up chocolate for Lent but forgot it was still hungry for attention. It’s mostly collapsed now, which is very on-brand for its dramatic personality. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.

Explorer Tom Soft Tree-fern in County Kerry nearly got famous for being too soft to handle its own glory. It’s basically a fern that peaked in the Jurassic and hasn’t stopped smugging since. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

Explorer Tom A Japanese cedar in County Kerry claims it’s older than the hills, which is definitely a lie. But who wants to argue with a tree that looks like a castle? Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
