Poll Cuillean

Recorded cave place

What is recorded here

Poll Cuillean marks a cave entrance at Deelin Beg in County Clare, recorded in the Irish Caves Database rather than invented by legend. The name suggests a hollow place known locally, perhaps used for shelter, storage or simple wonder before anyone drew a line across it. A cave map point does not by itself grant access, so curiosity must still ask permission from the land and respect the living place behind the marker.
The Irish Caves Database records Poll Cuillean at Deelin Beg 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.
