| The Caves and Archaeology of Ebbor Gorge
Ebbor Gorge is a densely wooded valley on the edge of the Mendip Hills, in the south-west of England. It is located a short distance from Wookey Hole, a well-known show cave and prehistoric site. The gorge is National Trust property, managed by Natural England and open to the public. It contains many small caves and rock shelters, located both in the bottom of the gorge and on the higher surrounding ground. Another small group of caves are found in Hope Wood, between the road and the gorge. Many of these shelters have yielded archaeological remains of great interest, obtained in most cases by excavations carried out in the early 20th Century. The Neolithic, Bronze Age and Romano-British periods are represented, at some sites overlying natural accumulations of animal bones of much greater age.
