What is recorded here

Ooangallaun Cave was a man-made underground passage near the Cloon valley mouth, SE of the Owenroe river. Around the 1920s people quarried away its stones and the nearby standing stone, erasing the cave from the land. No surface trace remains, but the valley may still hide the shape of what was taken.

This Man-made underground passage was located towards the mouth of the Cloon valley, a short distance SE of the Owenroe river. Sometime around the 1920s the stones used in its construction were quarried away, as was the nearby standing stone (KE082-017----) (local information). No apparent surface trace survives.
