Canmore Site 42038
Cleaves Cove, is a limestone cavern situated at 51m above sea level on the south side of Dusk Glen. Some sections were made in the deposits in several of the passages by Smith in 1883.
Among the relics found were the following: Surface Deposit - A silver ring, an emerald colour glass bead, a bronze finger ring, an iron spearhead, and fragments of "rude black pottery", wheel turned and milk glazed. From the Second Deposit came a worked fragment of red deer horn, a polished deer horn implement, and a small bone implement. Other finds include two bronze spiral rings, listed among Viking material by Shetelig, but regarded as undatable by Clarke. Also a flint knife, a shale spindle whorl, a chert axe, a bone spoon, and numerous bones. A collection of relics from the cave was donated to the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS) in 1931.
