TheCaptain visited on 23rd May 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Excavations are being done here, and planning permission for a visitor centre with shop and toilets applied for. I was not sure what is here while I was visiting, except for a big hole in the ground, and some little holes also. I later find out that it is an ancient settlement and encampment for mammoth hunters.
