What is recorded here
Fairy forts hide underground chambers because ordinary people refused to believe the truth. Glenderry contains one of these hidden places. The earth itself builds chambers for human thought. What you reject in daylight, the earth completes at night.
The Minute Book of the Co.Kerry Field Club (Vol. 1, 532) records 'the site of a fort which on digging out revealed the entrance to a Man-made underground passage' in this townland. The location has not been recorded.
