The Mouth of it is level with the Plain, about 
Three Feet Diameter : It has been much larger, but 
was blocked up with Lime and Stone, which plainly 
appears ftill, but to what Purpofe is not known. 
Some conjedure it was an Attempt to reftrain the 
great Flux of Water j but the fabulous Natives, who 
tell numberlefs romantic Tales of it, fay, it is a Paf- 
fage to the Antipodes j and that a Stud of fine Horfes 
have been feen coming out of it very often, to eat 
the Corn fown in the Valley : They further add, that 
many Stratagems have been tried to catch fome of 
them ; bur, with the Lofs of fome Mens Lives, they 
could catch but one Stone-horfe, the Breed of which, 
being very valuable, they fay is kept to this Day by 
O LoghleUy which with them is a kind of titular 
King that they pay great Refped to. But to return 
to the Cave : 
When you pafs this narrow Entrance, it grows 
much wider and loftier. The Floor is a pretty even 
Rock, from Two to Four or Five Yards broad : The 
Sides and Top are rugged and unequal, from Six to 
Twelve or Fourteen Feet high. 
About Forty Yards from the Door, there is a pretty 
deep Pit, Seven or Eight Yards over } but, when paffed, 
the Floor is plain and even, as before, for about Two 
hundred Yards, which is the fartheft that any one 
known has ventured into it : For my part, I did not 
pafs this Pit, but have feen feveral that did, whofe 
Veracity I can depend upon. Moft People that have 
gone into it, went by a Thread or Clue j others have 
carried a Bundle of Straw, and dropped it by the 
Way, to guide their Return 5 which feems altogether 
unnecelTary, there being no Windings or Chambers 
throughout
