Description

A cave described by Oldham as Ogof Mel Davies, suggesting the cave was discovered by Davies, but not included in his survey of 1993. The cave is situated on the N side of Rhossili headland around 300 yards west of the coastguard station, at the edge of the cliff. It consists of a small chamber with stalagmite on the walls and the floor shows signs of having been filled in,

the site was not located during the 2003/4 survey and it is unclear if it contains any sediment or has any archaeological potential.
