What is recorded here
Owenterbolea Swallet is a cave sink at Killeany in County Clare. It is the kind of place where rain disappears into earth and reappears elsewhere, perhaps in a well or a river. People may have followed that water, named it, or avoided it. The cave still keeps the local claim that visibility and ownership must be respected before entry.
The Irish Caves Database records Owenterbolea Swallet at Killeany in County Clare. 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.
