   The Cave Naturally defended by contour at the back (N) of the Terret. Entrance sufficient to admit man on horse
   Stream + small eas running by entrance. Used as a store during the Tan War. Rifles discovered in it recently (local press).
   The Sheriff of Co. Tipp (Capt Foster) is proposing vote of thanks to me after one of my lectures on folklore, dispensed great interest in these caves expressed the ardent wish of visiting them. When he did arrive in Cappawhite he was not shown Ned's Cave as it is as useful now as it was in 1690-1715, ? ? ? ? ? we hide our cattle ? now when we learn the sheriff & his men are coming. We brought him into the old lead mines & he was equally "charmed & intrigued".
