Cat Hole Cave

Cave / Rock Shelter

Fieldnotes

Cat Hole Cave is just a short walk from Parc Le Breos (about 200 yards north) uphill into a wooded area. Access is no longer possible as the cave has now been closed to the public with bars in situ. A local person said this was because the bats were being disturbed by people going into the cave looking for the 'reindeer rock art'.
In 1968 excavations recovered flint blades of the 'Creswellian' type which indicated this cave was the home to hunting parties towards the end of the Ice Age some 14,000 years ago.

Shame they have closed the cave - I didn't know about that.
(I also didn't know that the 'reindeer' rock art was there)
