Poultalloon

Recorded cave place

What is recorded here

An Poll Talún, meaning hole in the ground, is a low limestone cave in County Limerick whose branches are only about 1.2 metres high. It gave its townland a name, yet no one has confirmed whether people ever lived, buried or ritualised inside it. The entrance is now blocked with rocks and earth, leaving the cave hidden in rocky pasture rather than on display. What remains interesting is the unanswered question: a named place with an unexplored interior, waiting beneath an ordinary field.
The Irish Caves Database records Poultalloon at Poultalloon in County Limerick. 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.
