- (continued from previous page)SEAL HOLE (Sell, local pronun)large cave, small entrance but larger below water. Inaccessible from land. It is approached from sea by a deep chann. about width of road. Seals are to be seen playing about there, and enter the cave below sea. A small boat could enter it at low tide, but would probably be trapped by flood tide.It is said that this cave goes a long way into the land, and that there is a beach inside. The seals breed here.There is another "Sell hole" at Broomhill on the Harbour side, called Poll-na-Rón.
