    While in Ireland last week we climbed for about a half hour to see this beautiful site. The sun was out and the Atlantic was a beautiful aqua color. Truly awesome!

    This hole is totally natural, even if it looks man-made. If you search photos of Inis Mor you will see from aerial pictures that all the coastline has weird rectangular lines. its just one of those freaks of nature. bit like the perfectly hexagonal stones of the Giant's Causeway.

    This feature is formed when softer alluvial schist overlaying tertiary gritstone conglomerates are uplifted and abraded by very square waves.

      You don't even know what these words mean. This was the quarry where the iron age civilization that build the castles further up got the rocks from, the chip marks are still visible in places.

      @@ramdas363 Chip marks LOL. Chips weren't introduced into Ireland until at least 1850, long after the iron age. It was plain boiled spuds or mash before then. Maybe a bit of cabbage mixed in if you lived around Colcannon. But no Kerrygold.

      @@TheRealBoroNut Listen here you little Shiite! This is ancient Ireland before those neck ring wearing Celtic loons arrived. There was no Kerrygold around and the only chips anyone saw in those days were wood and stone, quality stuff.
      The one mistake the Romans ever made was not enslaving more of those basterds. It's no surprise they later got colonized by English of all people and their main diet is deep a fried Mars Bar with Guiness these days 🤮

      @TheRealBoroNut 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Mayans. They believed that if they carved a perfectly square hole adjacent to east facing tidal water they could recreate the portal that transported them there in the first place. Unfortunatley it was oblong, as Mayans had no word for square.

    Paul, paul, paul.. amazing footage ty. But this is not natural dude, don't believe everything you are told. Look around the whole area. It is an ancient ruined city lost to time and memory. Mother nature doesn't roll in straight lines dude, let alone correct rectangles like that, esp not by the sea.

      Actually I must disagree. I live by a cement culvert that fills up with water,then ices in winter. When it melts, the chunks are complete squares. Like geometrically perfect squares.

      Where does a person who falls into that hole, particularly with pounding waves wash to. Yikes that like a worst nightmare. But i would like to think I personally am smart enough to seek advice of the locals as to what I should and should not do when in an unknown area.

    It has to be man-made. The lines are too straight and right angles. There is a history to this place we don't know.

      I am from Ireland and I agree with you, although there are some other really odd geological features to the country like the giants causeway, this really does appear to be carved or cut by someone or something. Amazing place though.
