What is recorded here

Ovens Cave in Carrigane, County Cork, is a real cave in a county that still drops rocks from the sky and hides chambers under ordinary fields. It may have given people heat, terror, refuge or ritual, depending on whether they entered with bread or with a lantern. The name suggests heat, so perhaps someone baked, smoked or warmed themselves there before writing the place into memory.
