 Marlbank-Cuilcagh Mountain Region; East Cuilcagh Overview
Despite their proximity to the other caves and karst features of the Marlbank and Cuilcagh area, this group in the east demonstrates an association of unusual features which are at least partly explained by their geological context.

A clue as to how this happens may be the dip (tilt) of the strong bedding in the Dartry Limestone which is to the west and south west.
