What is recorded here
Shandon Bone Cave lies at Ballynamuck East in County Waterford, a quiet hole where dead things may have fallen out of the living world. The name suggests marrow, not myth, as if the earth itself once chewed and spat. Whether bones belonged to men, horses or gods is no longer certain. What is certain is that the cave kept them, and keeping is a kind of love.
