Full Description

NB 1039 3850 Largish cave with remains of stone walling across mouth, and 3-sided rectangular stone enclosure or structure built against cave wall inside. This cave is dry, above sea level and apparently with some depth of deposits within the cave, which has been utilised at least in latter times. The best potential I have seen anywhere in the area for early prehistoric occupation!
