What is recorded here

Ballymaglancy Cave is a 726-metre underground river chamber in County Galway that has remained closed to the public since ancient times. Lesser horseshoe bats still fold their wings inside its dark water, and the law now protects that quiet life. The townland name points to a family called Clancy or Glancy, whose children may have played at the cave mouth before anyone wrote the place down.

Within the NW quadrant of a rath (GA104-065----). McCaffrey (1952, 245, no. 150) refers to the presence of a Man-made underground passage. It was subsequently robbed out and an L-shaped depression (L>17.5m) running NNE-SSW for 11m and E-W for 6.5m marks its site.
