What is recorded here

Ballymaglancy Cave is a 726-metre underground river in County Galway where lesser horseshoe bats still fly through darkness that people have stopped filling with lanterns. The name preserves the Clancy or Glancy family townland, while Pollwalter points to a mill pond memory beside the entrance. Keep its chambers closed and its water quiet, because the cave exists to protect the bats and the bats exist to remind us that some places belong to creatures who do not need to be shown off.
