Dead Man's Cave/Anston Stones Wood submitted by trust5629
Dead Man's Cave/Anston Stones Wood Cave or Rock Shelter in Yorkshire (South)

Anston Gorge is designated a SSSI and with good cause.It is one of the finest examples of the gorges within the Creswell Limestone Heritage Area.The landscape is dominated by Magnesium Limestone cliffs and the general area supports distictive types of rare plants and animals and ancient woodlands.The limestone was used in the rebuilding work at the Houses of Parliament after the fire in 1834.
Dead Man's cave is reached from Anston Parish Hall car park by following the well marked path to the gorge and by taking the higher path at the fork.The path leads to a mini gorge with rock shelters and fissures which have not been excavated.Just before the path descends and to the right there is a right fork which will bring you to the edge of the limestone cliff.To the left is a path which leads down to the cave/rock shelter.
Dead Man's cave was excavated in the 1960's and archaeologists found flint stone tools used by hunters 12,000 years ago.Bones from Ice Age animals such reindeer and hyena were also found.
