What is recorded here

Knockadoon Cave stands in County Limerick as a dark chamber where Neolithic people placed their dead, joining a wide Irish tradition of using rock shelters for remembrance. The cave may have held bones, tokens or bodies laid out for the air and time to change, making the living world and the dead share one continuing space. Its depth and darkness would have felt like a room belonging to ancestors rather than an empty hole in the ground.
