Heights Cave
Heights Cave submitted by cavegirl : Heights Cave from the bottom of the scar. The wall was built by the excavators but makes a great place to sit and muse about the views across the valley. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cave in North Yorkshire.
A nice cave with a prominent entrance split by a supporting rock column forming two arches.

It's got a great view across the valley and is in a lovely position. The cave was excavated in 1893 and a composite tool was found of a reindeer antler with a boar's tusk insert - this has been given a Mesolithic date. At a lower level were found bison, reindeer and bear bones. The wall was built by the excavators but sort of adds to the site. Please ask permission before visiting from Bell Bank (the farm lower down the lane)
