Fortlands cave

Cave

What is recorded here

Fortlands cave is a dark chamber in County Kerry where Neolithic people placed the dead to be remembered. They may have laid bones beside stone markers or left small tokens for ancestors who had gone before. The cave did not ask to be believed; it waited to be entered. What is forgotten elsewhere can still be held when someone remembers the purpose for which the chamber was used.
The Irish Caves Database records Fortlands cave at Clahane in County Kerry. This point comes from its public cave register. A cave map point does not by itself grant access: check local conditions and ask the landowner where needed.

The cave register does not grant public access. Check conditions and ask the landowner before entering private land.
