Settlement Sites
In the townland of Carrowmore in County Galway, a cave sits on the archaeological record with almost nothing attached to it.
It has a name, a map reference, and a classification, and beyond that the paper trail goes quiet. That combination of official recognition and near-total silence is, in its own way, a curiosity. Caves in Ireland have served many purposes across the centuries: natural shelters adapted for habitation, places worked into local folklore, occasional refuges during periods of upheaval, and sometimes simple features of the limestone karst landscape that were noted, named, and left alone. Which of these applies here is, for now, an open question.
