What is recorded here

Ballymaglancy Cave is a 726-metre underground river in County Galway, Ireland, where water cut through Carboniferous limestone to make a dark tube for lesser horseshoe bats. It lies near Cong, beyond the townland named for the Clancy or Glancy family, and its hidden chambers still give those bats a place to roost away from people. The cave is not a showplace or a tourist tube; it is a living home, protected because darkness and silence matter there.
