A mammoth bone dated to 16,000 BC found. Tools have been dated to around 36,000 BC, and also between 28 - 26,000 BC. One assumes that the cave has been linked as a hermitage for the early mediaeval St Beuno by the attribution of his name.
This is the back garden of the Starters Restaurant, and permission needs to be obtained first for a visit.
