This multicache should take no more than 15 minutes from first stage to final cache, with the 3 stages all situated close by each other. The history of the old ruins at this location are not known to me, but it is certainly an intriguing and beautiful location.
The walk from the Hightown road carpark to the top of Cavehill is the least arduous, very picturesque and only takes 25-40 minutes depending on your fitness. However this cache can also be found if following the trail from the Ballysillan or Upper Cavehill roads, and can be the "turning point" of your walk if you're feeling lazy and don't want to tackle the slightly steeper bit!

The Cache.
There are 3 physical components to this multicache:
The first is a magnetic micro QR code
The second is a micro QR code inside a medium sized container. The code gives the coordinates of the tree mentioned in the clue.
The 3rd is a medium sized container in a camo bag containing a log book, pencil and room for swaps. Tree covering at this point may throw coordinates off, so use the clue and geosense to make your discovery.
You will need a barcode/QR code scanner to complete this cache. Your phone may have one already installed, but if not, just search for "barcode scanner" or something similar in your app store. There are lots of free ones, they take seconds to download, take up very little space and are extremely easy to use.
Please replace all parts carefully, be wary of muggles, and enjoy this cache and the beautiful views and countryside.
About Cavehill:
Cavehill, historically known as Ben Madigan (from Irish: Beann Mhadagáin), is a basaltic hill overlooking the city of Belfast in Northern Ireland. It forms part of the southeastern border of the Antrim Plateau. It is distinguished by its famous 'Napoleon's Nose', a basaltic outcrop which resembles the profile of the famous emperor Napoleon. All of Belfast can be seen from its peak, as can the Isle of Man and Scotland on clear days.
Cavehill is thought to be the inspiration for Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels. Swift imagined that the Cavehill resembled the shape of a sleeping giant safeguarding the city.
