What is recorded here

Piper's Cave sits on Inis Oirr in County Galway, a small cave known only by its name and location. The rock may have sheltered people from Atlantic weather or simply marked the edge of a familiar shore. Whether it hid a household, a storm or a forgotten road, the cave still belongs to the island and remembers every person clever enough to listen.
