What is recorded here
Ballygill Middle holds a cave from the C18TH/C19TH period, waiting beneath the County Antrim soil. Whether it served as a shelter, a hiding place or a forgotten chamber, the dark stone still keeps its distance. People may have entered it during storms or simply followed curiosity into the earth. The cave remains a quiet opening in the landscape, unchanged by time.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Cave. Recorded period: C18TH/C19TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
