Summary of site:
These two sites are of minor interest. There is a cave passage on Knockninny Hill, open at both ends, that yielded prehistoric human remains with artefacts. The interest on Molly Mountain is three sink holes. Both these sites have slightly fuller descriptions under their own names, Knockninny relict cave (site 432) and Molly stream sink (site 433).
