What is recorded here
Kilpatrick is not a polite cave. It is a natural hole in the Antrim landscape, the kind of place where stone stops pretending to be solid and admits it has a hollow heart. The facts give no date, no owner and no neat event, so the cave remains stubbornly itself: dark, old and unbothered by whether people understand it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Natural cave. 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.
