Co-ordinates: 54°22’42"N, 7°50’51"W
Discovery: {{{discovery}}}

Killydrum Sink is one of several karst limestone features described as in the townland of Killydrum in Fermanagh. The area around the karst has been designated a provisional site of special scientific interest.

The route of the main water course passes through Killydrum Sink. This is a large swallow hole leading to a small, choked sink. Water entering here is believed to drain through the Noon’s Hole system.[1]

The rocks are of the quaternary and carboniferous ages.
