What is recorded here
Leic an Níocháin marks a cave entrance at Cill Mhuirbhigh in County Galway, preserved in the Irish Caves Database rather than hidden from human memory. The name suggests washing or ritual cleansing, perhaps a place where water flowed clean through rock while people lived beside it. A cave map point does not by itself grant access: check local conditions and ask the landowner where needed.
