Portbraddon Cave (also spelled Portbradden, Portbraddan) is a relict sea cave located near Portbraddon, County Antrim on the north coast of Northern Ireland. Its location 5 m (16 ft) above the present-day high water mark makes it important archaeologically, as it would have been inhabited as far back as the Mesolithic. The whereabouts of the human bones have since become unknown, and they have not been subjected to modern radiocarbon dating techniques.

| - كهف بورتبرادون هو كهف بحري يقع بالقرب من بورتبرادون، مقاطعة أنترم على الساحل الشمالي لأيرلندا الشمالية. إن موقعه على ارتفاع 5 أمتار (16 قدمًا) فوق علامة المياه العالية الحالية يجعله مهمًا من الناحية الأثرية، حيث كان من الممكن أن يسكنه منذ زمن بعيد حتى العصر الحجري المتوسط. (ar)

- Portbraddon Cave (also spelled Portbradden, Portbraddan) is a relict sea cave located near Portbraddon, County Antrim on the north coast of Northern Ireland. Its location 5 m (16 ft) above the present-day high water mark makes it important archaeologically, as it would have been inhabited as far back as the Mesolithic. In the 1930s the cave was the subject of an archaeological dig by Andrew McLean May, who made a number of notable finds. During the course of the excavations, which went as deep as 2 m (7 ft) below the modern floor level, May encountered: iron objects, including the barrel of a muzzle-loading pistol; pottery and flint tools, some of which showed Mesolithic characteristics; fireplaces and animal bones and ultimately the original water-worn floor of the cave. Most notably May also discovered partial remains of three human females. They were examined by Professor Thomas Walmsley at Queen's University Belfast, who noted that "most of the bones have primitive features which are not likely found together in post-medieval time; and there are some characteristics which suggest an epi-palaeolithic inheritance." The whereabouts of the human bones have since become unknown, and they have not been subjected to modern radiocarbon dating techniques. (en)
