What is recorded here

The Irish Caves Database records Newry Hole at Merlin Park in County Galway. This point comes from its public cave register. A cave map point does not by itself grant access: check local conditions and ask the landowner where needed.

Newry Hole is a karstic cave formed in limestone, typical of the Galway area, likely developed by the dissolution of soluble rock over geological time. It has historical significance as a cave used by the local community and is noted in archaeological surveys for its potential to contain prehistoric remains or artifacts.

The cave register does not grant public access. Check conditions and ask the landowner before entering private land.
