Summary of site:
The Tullyhona Rising Cave is the most easterly of the cave systems on the north side of the Cuilcagh Dyke and it is fed by a range of surface streams that drain to the rising, which is the entrance to the cave. Dye testing has proved that Brookfield Sink No 1 feeds its small stream into the system.
