What is recorded here
Cushy Glen's Cave on Binevenagh is a folklore outlaw cave in County Derry, Ireland. Local story claims Cushy Glen lived inside the mountain and preyed on travellers using the old Murderhole Road. The cave still carries that danger because the mountain itself became his hidden kitchen.
The Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust records the story that the outlaw Cushy Glen lived in a cave on Mount Binevenagh while preying on travellers using the old Murderhole Road.
Cushy Glen's Cave on Binevenagh is a basaltic cave formed through volcanic activity during the Paleogene period, typical of the Causeway Coast's geological landscape. Local folklore associates the cave with Cushy Glen, an 18th-century outlaw who allegedly used it as a hideout.
This is a wider mountain point, not a marked entrance. The cliffs and slopes are steep and uneven.
