What is recorded here

John Quinn's Cave lies at Carrowkilleen in County Galway, marked only as a point in a public register rather than a lived address. The name suggests a person, perhaps a keeper, thief or traveller, but no fact records who Quinn was or when he used the hole. The cave may have given shelter, hidden treasure or simply swallowed a boy's marble during a storm. Whatever it took, it kept the name alive while losing the man who first spoke it.
