Rahasane turlough is a turlough (an intermittent lake), west of Craughwell in south-west County Galway. It is the largest surviving turlough in Ireland. A turlough is a karst lake, which has no surface outlet and is surrounded on all sides by rising land. At Rahasane the drainage has been modified in that since the nineteenth century the Dunkellin river has followed an artificial channel downstream of the turlough, but part of the flow continues to go underground, via a natural sink, into the underlying limestone.Rahasane consists of two basins which are connected at times of flood but separated as the waters decline. It covers 257 ha at an altitude of 10–30m above sea level. The site comprises marshes, seasonally flooded wet meadows, with limestone outcrops and scrub at its margins. In th
