KevB visited on 1st Jan 1985 - their rating: Amb: 4 Access: 3 Access is problematic as the landowner and gamekeeper are not keen on anyone visiting. The caves of archaeological interest are in the bottom of a gorge cut by a small stream. There are a series of 8 caves properly known as the Brasgyll caves. Number 2 and 8 have been archaeologically excavated. More information here https://sites.google.com/site/cavesofnortheastwales/12-caves-a-b
Coflein entry:
"A fissure opening off a 'rock shelter'. Excavations in 1946 produced pottery with animal and human remains from within the fissure and flints with human and animal remains from the area of the shelter. Modern material was also found."
