| UAMH MHIC EOIN RIABHIACH (Continued) | 134 | [continued from page 35] "Spacious, of a circular figure, but not perfectly regular. It is more than 70ft [feet] in circumference and about 10 ft [feet] in height. All around the Cave there are smaller vaults, resembling cellars, and from one part of it a narrow passage leads to a small apartment not unlike a sleeping chamber. This cave is remarkable for having been the sanctuary of one of the lairds of Ardkinglass; who according to tradition of the country, having been defeated & oppressed by some powerful neighbour, was obliged to conceal himself, and a few followers in this cave for a whole year, during which his retreat was not discovered by the enemy. It is called from this incident Uamh Mhic Iain Reoich - "Hoi Iain Reoich", "The Son of Swarthy John"; the patronymic name of the family of Ardkinglass. |
