What is recorded here
Clear water bypassed the solid rock and cut a narrow tube through the local stone. The underground passage in Cleanderry is a man-made route, not a random cave, because people directed that water through rock they did not control. They understood pressure, patience and the life of the river better than modern pride often does.
In the NW of the interior [of ringfort (KE014-010----)] is a semi-circular mound that curves in to the bank. A lot of stones are visible. This is possibly the Man-made underground passage (KE014-010001-) that is marked as 'cave' on the 1842 OS map.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 468. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
