What is recorded here
Flautists Cave sits at Madavagh in County Donegal, named for the music supposedly heard inside rather than the chamber itself. The cave keeps the local story alive: a quiet place where flutes may have played, echoed, or simply inspired the name. Whether music really filled the chamber or memory shaped the name, the cave still carries that tone.
