Cave or Rock Shelter in the Wye Valley
From Pastscape:
"A fissure cave within the Seven Sisters rock outcrop. Some casual excavation occurred in 1958, when some Roman pottery was found. The cave was further examined in 1993 as part of the Wye Valley Caves Project. Trial trenching identified two distinct archaeological horizons, the upper containing animal remains, part of a bone spatula, Roman potsherds and a coin of Faustina II dating to AD 145-52. The lower horizon yielded animal remains plus sherds of Bronze Age pottery. Pleistocene faunal remains were found in the underlying yellow clay."
