Cave, No, 2—Suanpon.—The cave made famous by Mr. Edward Brenan, who 
about the year 1859 discovered numerous mammalian remains in 
the cave breccia (Brenan and Carte, Proc. Roy. Dubl. Soc., Vol. 
II, p. 344. Leith Adams, Tran, Roy. Irish Academy, Vol. 
XXVI., p. 187.) 
Cave, No. 3—Suanpon.—A few yards further west in the same cliff.

Cave, No. 10—Coounnanav.—Called Ooanagoloor (anglice, cave of the sparrows).

records of man observed. Has still to be explored. 
Cave, No, 183—BautynamMEeLAcH.—In part quarried away. A deep well in one 
portion. Mr. Stack, the occupier of the adjoining house states, 
that in quarrying adjoining to the well a number of huge bones, 
one which they describe as ‘‘a huge head with great horns” 
were found. Smith, in his History of Waterford, states, that in 
the neighbourhood of Whitechurch a huge rib was got ; possibly 
it may have been got in this locality, but of the exact place 
where it was found there is no record. (See Note 1, page 224.) 
Cave, No. 14—BatiyNAMEELAGH.—A cave is said, by Mr. Stack, to exist in this 
brow a little north of last. (See Note 2, page 224.)

Cave, No, 16—Brincequarter.—Partially explored, floor of cave sixty-seven feet 
above Ordnance zero. Contains angular limestone shingle 
(weathering of roof) in brown earth, over broken blocks and 
cones of stalagmite in pale sandy earth under which is the solid 
limestone. The sides of this cave are worn and hollowed as if 
by water, and although it now opens to the north-westward it 
is said to have been found in a quarry, now filled up, in the
