Cave or Rock Shelter in Staffordshire

Seven Ways cave - so named because of 7+ entrances into it. Sited above and to the west of Thor's Cave, it is accessed by returning to the path just before the last descent to access Thor's Cave, and then heading up! Be careful - the drops come up unexpectedly, and there are some *big* drops. Also minor shafts and limestone fissures are not infrequent, so consider your route to avoid a smaller fall.

Human remains found here, but were not dated, finds go from probably Neolithic, Iron Age, Roman and Saxon; excavated 1948-54.
