Notes: There is a “feeder” to the Aille river, which gathers on the foothills of the Partry Mts., being blocked as it reaches the lower slopes by a transverse outcrop of limestone cliff, beneath which it burrows for about half a mile before emerging into a large pool which feeds the mainstream, 12 miles east of Westport on the way to Lake Carra. In dry seasons some have entered the cavern once the sump/maelstrom has disappeared, and have reportedly seen large buildings with illuminated windows and other things “too dreadful to describe”.

Notes: An old legend tells how the knight Owen visited a cave on Station Island in County Donegal in the year 1153, leading to an underground plain and a “cloister” where he met monks who warned him of the temptations ahead. The knight travels to a black, icy realm and also sulfurous pits of molten metal in which the wicked suffer, finally arriving at the earthly paradise below the earth.
