Badger Pot
(Redirected from Pigeon Pot)
Badger Pot and Pigeon Pot are two caves found on the eastern slopes of Cuilcagh Mountain, south of Florencecourt Forest Park in Fermanagh.
The caves are carved by water in the karst topography, formed by two small rivers which, at each pot, sink below ground. Dye tracing has linked these sinks to the underground river of the Prod's Pot–Cascades cave system. This river in turn rises at Cladagh Glen and feeds into the Cladagh River, before ultimately discharging into Upper Lough Erne.[1]
The dye tracing has also proved a further underground link to Shannon Pot in County Cavan, suggesting that the latter may once have had a substantially larger catchment area.[1]
