Description

cave listed in the R.C.A.H.M. Inventory (Vol I(1) p20) as containing the bones of pleistocene fauna located on the south facing almost vertical cliffs of Great Tor. Due to the precipitous slope the actual cave was not visited by the Trust's surveyors but the presumed location was noted. There are several small openings in the area many of which could also contain bones.
