What is recorded here
Knockbeg Cave sits in County Galway, a dark hole where human curiosity still meets stone. It may have hidden people from rain or held them for hours in darkness, depending on whether they entered with lanterns or fear. The cave does not need a legend to feel alive because it still swallows light and returns silence.
