“On the land of Mr Cavanagh an underground passage is situated.”
On the land of Mr.Cavanagh an underground passage is situated. It runs from Kyle to Crogue and it is said that it was used as a means of escape for the monks when they were being pursued by enemies.
It is said that in ancient times a monastery stood on Kyle and if the passage was explored holy objects would be found because it was also used as a hiding place for the monks.- Collector
