What is recorded here
Antrim’s rocky coast keeps a private chamber where seawater carves marble and rainwash polishes bone-white stone. The cave belongs to no kingdom, yet it has watched human life since before written memory. Its darkness is not empty; it is a living archive of patience, tide and time.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Natural 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.
