Little Shelter
PRN 22783
This cave is located quite near to Tower Rock. Its stooping-size entrance leads to a short passage, ending at a tiny hole to a chamber at a higher level. It was dug by Balch in August 1922. At a foot depth he found what he described as a broken perforated sandstone axe and some fragments of human bones. At 3 feet six inches he found more human remains and a number of flints (Balch 1922). The human remains were studied by A. Keith, who identified skulls, jaws or other bones belonging to at least one man (over 45 years of age) and one woman (a right humerus that �tallies with that of an Englishwoman of 5� 4� in stature�) (Keith 1922). Hendy (2005) reports that the shelter had also been dug in 1907, and again in 1955 when Roman pottery was found. |
