Cave

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

Seven hundred and twenty-six metres of Carboniferous limestone stretch west of Cong, hiding a linear stream and a colony of lesser horseshoe bats. The cave remains closed to the public, forcing humans to wonder rather than walk through its dark chambers. That boundary protects the bats from disturbance and preserves the quiet strangeness of a place named for the Clancy family.
In the W sector of a rath (GA105-099----). This drystone-built rectangular passage (L >9m; Wth 1.6m) runs E-W. Access is gained via a gap in the roof. To W of the gap the passage is accessible for a distance of 3.4m; to E of it, it is inaccessible. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 3 January 2018
