Caves of Maghera: A kilometre past Assaranca you'll find Maghera strand with the Maghera caves beneath the Slievetooey mountains. We were only in a handful of caves, which go back a bit as seen above, but there are said to be over 20 caves, 8 arches and five tunnels, but most are only really accessible by kayak.
