Description
The Caves of Kesh, Keshcorran Hill, County Sligo, Ireland
Archaeological investigations at these caves have unearthed bones from animals that stalked Ireland towards the end of the Ice Age. Large mammals such as brown bear, red deer, Arctic lemming & wolves all dating to more than 12,000 years ago. Our ancestors believed that this cave was an actual gateway to the “Otherworld”. They not only live in this cave, but they also buried their loved ones here to help guide them safely to the otherworld.
There’s always that curious side of me that wants to investigate caves & mysterious places. These are not the boring, dark & scary places most folk believe they are. Cave walls hold so many colours & textures, which have been slowly enriching over millions of years. Most colours found within cave walls are tones in which I have yet seen elsewhere in nature.
Caves are still very symbolic places for many people. In times of terrible storm, they’re certainly a wonderful place to shelter & warm with your thoughts until all blows over…..
