Geology of Cong and The Neale from Irish Tourist Association Survey, 1945
This section of the survey of Cong and The Neale is interesting for the description of the numerous caves and underground waterways in the vicinity of Cong. Included are Poll na Colum or the “Pigeon Hole”, The Priest’s Cave, the Horse Discovery, The Ladies’ Buttery, Webb’s Cave, Kelly’s Cave, Marc Anthony’s Pool, Poll Mór and Ballymaglancy Cave. There is also a page devoted to the ill-fated Corrib Mask canal, work on which commenced in the middle of the nineteenth century but was eventually abandoned because the bed of the canal supposedly would not hold water. The roles of engineers Nimmo, Kane and Bald are mentioned.
The headings for the survey are listed below. Clicking on the heading will open the relevant section in the survey.
