Poll Ballynahown

Recorded cave place

What is recorded here

Poll Ballynahown is a two-thousand-foot cave beneath the western flank of Knockauns where a narrow stream forces explorers to crawl through monotonous, meandering darkness. University of Bristol spelaeologists surveyed the pitch and sump in 1968, then replaced the farmer's boulders at the entrance so local cattle would not fall into the waiting water.
The Irish Caves Database records Poll Ballynahown at Ballynahown 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.
