Cave or Rock Shelter in the Wye Valley
From Pastscape:
"A small fissurre cave located on the south eastern corner of Little Doward hillfort (SO 51 NW 6). A human skeleton and a large "brass-headed" spear tip were apparently found in the 18th century, but nothing else is known about these finds, and their association with this cave is by no means certain. The cave was examined in 1994 as part of the Wye Valley Caves Project, when the cave and its entrance area were surveyed and a test pit excavated. Animal remains of Holocene date were found, but the cave does not appear to contain any Pleistocene deposits."
