What is recorded here
F5b marks a cave entrance at Gowlaun in County Clare, preserved only as a point in a public register rather than a named chamber or documented journey. The absence of further detail suggests the place escaped formal description, perhaps because it resisted entry, disappointed expectation, or belonged to someone who never shared it. Gowlaun keeps that gap intact: a cave known by coordinate, waiting for the person reckless or patient enough to discover what its marker withheld.
The Irish Caves Database records F5b at Gowlaun 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.
