Cave or Rock Shelter in the Wye Valley

From Pastscape:

"A series of rockshelters on the upper northern slopes of Huntsham Hill. In all, seven rock shelter were investigated in 1993 by test-pits as part of the Wye Valley Caves Project. Two of the larger shelters produced flint artefacts and bone. One of the flint implements is a narrow blade microlith of Late Mesolithic date."
