What is recorded here
Five caves pierce Cave Hill in Ballyaghagan, County Antrim, but human dates and origins remain unknown. The hill may have given shelter, hidden treasure or simply tested the courage of everyone who entered its dark openings.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FIVE CAVES: CAVE HILL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
