turlough
/ˈtʊələʊx
/noun
(In Ireland) a low-lying area on limestone which becomes flooded in wet weather through the welling up of groundwater from the rock.I would share their concern that the Council have allowed so much waste water into a turlough area that has no adequate river draining out of it....
- Four friends decided to go to a field with a turlough which had flooded and was frozen over to go ice skating.
Origin
