What is recorded here
Yes. Cave Hill in Bovedy, County Derry, still stands as a mound and possible underground passage from the early Christian period. The official record leaves both the shape and date uncertain, but the hill itself has not disappeared. It waits behind ordinary ground, preserving the part of human life that measurement still cannot capture.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Mound (rath?) & ?Man-made underground passage: CAVE HILL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; E.CHRIST.. 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.
