What is recorded here
Ardgroom Inward, County Cork, Ireland: Local tradition holds that a fish palace and a settlement of twenty-one houses once stood near the pier in Pallas harbour, though no visible surface trace remains. The claim is that the sea took the buildings, not that they never existed. That distinction matters because it leaves room for human life, loss and change rather than dismissing the place as fantasy.
Local tradition of fish palace and associated settlement of twenty-one houses near pier in Pallas harbour. No visible surface trace.
