Pollderreen

Recorded cave place

What is recorded here

Pollderreen is a recorded cave place in County Clare, Ireland, where a ten-foot canyon passage cuts through limestone and soft dripstone coats the walls near the surface. The water flows from a northern swallet to a southern pot, marking the limits of its hidden drainage basin. Explorers entered the cave in the twentieth century and followed the stream to a sump beyond a thousand yards, revealing a chamber system shaped by joints and shale. The cave remains a quiet witness to rain, rock and human curiosity, its depths still holding more than measurement can capture.
The Irish Caves Database records Pollderreen at Derreen South 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.
