The site of one of the Irish Civil wars most controversial incidents

"In 1923, Timothy ‘Aero’ Lyons and five IRA Volunteers occupied the cave for three days and two nights, besieged by National Army troops. One night, two of the Volunteers attempted to escape but fell from the sheer cliff face and were drowned.
The next morning, mines were detonated at the cave, followed by a gunfire and grenade attack. Eventually, Lyons surrendered. A rope was lowered down the cliff and he began climbing up, but the rope broke (or, according to some accounts, was deliberately cut) causing the National Army troops to open fire and kill Lyons. The three surviving Volunteers surrendered and were later executed. The Clashmealcon Cave event is considered one of the last acts of extreme violence of the Civil War."
