Caitloch Cave is said to have been made in the search for lead, probably in the 17th century. Covenanters are reputed to have used it as a hiding place.
J Corrie 1910
The cave is next to a disused lead mine and measures at the entrance 1.5 x 1.0m. Approximately 20.0m long there is no indication or likelihood of its having been inhabited.
Visited by OS (JRL) 31 August 1977.
