The National Monuments Service's description

The source of this record is the minor name 'Áine Cliar's Cave (site of)' in antiquarian typeface which is located at the northern edge of a quarry on the 1927 edition of the OS 6-inch map.
Natural cave described by O'Kelly (1944, 20) as following; 'This seems to have been a small cave in the limestone rock on the south side of Knockainy Hill. It has now disappeared owing to the continued extension of a nearby quarry. It is called Aine Cliar's Cave on the map'.
