That gap is itself quietly interesting. The fact that a cave warrants a monument record at all suggests it is more than a simple hollow in the rock. Caves across Ireland have served many purposes over the millennia, from natural shelters and souterrains (artificially modified underground passages associated with early medieval settlements) to sites of ritual use, animal bone deposits, and occasional habitation. Which of these categories this particular example falls into is, for now, a matter the formal record has yet to reveal.
