What is recorded here
Aillwee Cave is over a million years old, yet it stayed hidden until 1940 when Jacko McGann followed his dog into the dark. That simple act broke a long silence and introduced one of Ireland’s ancient wonders to the world.
Aillwee Cave is recorded as a cave in County Clare. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
