  1. There is a cave in Cormuch, it is said that it is made like a house.
    Some people say that it was there ever. Others say that it was the Irish people when they were put out of their lands that made it. It is made with shelphs. Michael Hasting went into it. He said he saw the track of a fire within in the cave.
