Description
Length: 30m

A fairly well known cave often visited by those on holiday here. It is also an important archaeological cave with palaeolithic, bronze age and medieval finds. This cave has two entrances; the larger main one is usualy used. This cave consists of a high main chamber with two passages leading off.

Digging prospects: This cave is a fossil remnant of the Llethryd/Tooth system (very likely as it lies on the line of a dye test between Llethryd/Tooth and a major resurgence). There is a low choked passage at the back of this cave.

Access
Open.

History
Finds sugest inhabitance during the palaeolithic, bronze age and medieval periods. It was also been used a burial place during the bronze age.
