What is recorded here

Ballymaglancy Cave is a 726-metre underground river in County Galway where lesser horseshoe bats still fly through darkness that has never been fitted for visitors. The water cut the Carboniferous limestone into a long hidden chamber, and the family name preserved in the place still points to the human side of that old boundary. To enter now is to disturb a living roost, but to imagine someone walking its damp length before laws and lamps is to hear why the cave kept itself secret.

Within the NW quadrant of a rath (GA104-181----). This rectangular drystone-built chamber (L >7m), which runs SE-NW, is inaccessible due to collapse.
