Features
Ballykeeffe Wood or Ballykeefe Wood was legally protected as a national nature reserve by the Irish government in 1980.[1]
The woodland features an abundance of bluebells and brambles amongst pedunculate oak and young ash.[2] The wood is adjacent to the old Ballykeeffe limestone mine, which was refurbished in the 1980s and now features rock climbing and an amphitheatre.[3]

gollark: Maybe I can just do ri2 - constant, that makes some sense.
gollark: `ADD` is `04 [register 1][register 2] [16-bit constant] - save (constant + ri2) to ri1`, but for subtraction the order is actually a problem.
