Lough Nahanagan
Between the north face of Camaderry and the east face of Turlough Hill lies Lough Nahanagan (Template:Langx, meaning 'Lake of the Water Monster'), a deep corrie lake carved by a glacier at the end of the last ice age.[6] The lake is associated with several Irish folk-stories.[7] The cliffs of the corrie around Lough Nahanagan are used by rock-climbers with single-pitch graded routes of up to VS 4c.[8]
Mining
Camaderry mountain contains the Luganure mineral vein which is a source of lead in the form of galena (PbS), and also contains traces of silver.[9] In 1859 the Glendasan and Glendalough mines were connected with each other by a series of tunnels called adits, which are now mostly flooded, through the mountain.[9] After several revivals, mining ceased in Camaderry in 1957; however, remains of the Miner's Village at Glendalough can still be seen.[9][10]
