Seven Way's is a bit of an odd one, SK0982 5490. Today's entrance to the cave looks to be contained in chamber with collapsed roof, the outer rim of this 'chamber' can still be seen. On the northern section of the rim are 3 low arches in the rock, possibly entrances to the cave at some point.
Bit of a low dirty squeeze into the actual cave.

Quite close to the Elderbush Cave, although nearer to the crag's edge.

Excavated by Bramwell during the 1940/50's. He discovered a Neolithic burial, pottery (Peterborough Ware) and leaf shaped arrowheads.
The cave also contained later Roman and medieval artefacts.
