Saint Bertram's Cave
Saint Bertram's Cave submitted by TimPrevett : A view of the cave opening, with hole to wider fissure beyond. Speaking with a Brummie chap who's been coming to the area for some time, and my having left the area, his description of the cave I found didn't match. However, even the Trent & Peak Archaeological Trust couldn't agree on which cave here was the lynx cave in notes on the NMR - so it appears uncertainty is the name of the game.

Saint Bertram's Cave submitted by TimPrevett : Blink and you'll miss it. Look from this dried up river bed, and there is the cave, up a short scramble. The mouth is elongated and curved, with a hole about 6 feet up (wide enough to crawl through - but getting up there is another issue), and the opens into a wide fissure beyond.

This photo is taken having walked about 1/2 mile along the riverbed. The cave is to the right (not visible here; other photos coming), but is easily missed.

The Beeston Tor Hoard by Andy B on Saturday, 10 March 2018
(User Info | Send a Message)
What is Beeston Tor, what was found there and who found it?

Beeston Tor is a limestone cliff located in Staffordshire, overlooking the River Hamps and River Manifold, famous for its caves and very popular among rock climbers. The hoard, consisting of Anglo-Saxon coins and jewelry, was discovered in 1924 by Rev. George H Wilson. Most of the coins were of Burgred (King of Mercia 852-888 CE) and Alfred the Great (King of Wessex 849-899 CE), which dated the hoards deposition to circa 875 CE, perhaps associating its concealment with the purpose of protecting it from the Viking army wintering at nearby Repton in 873/4 CE.
