SN 83781604. The cave, first dug in 1923 and reported in 1924, was subsequently more thoroughly explored. Deposits were much disturbed, but the prehistoric finds would all fit a quite narrow horizon, MBA III (pottery, gold bead, rapier, razor, awl) and may represent actual occupation. Several inhumations, unlikely to be of this period, are attributed to sepulchral use of the cave in RB times. The Roman material falls into two phases, 1st-2nd cents and 4th cent, with a gap in occupation from c AD 180-330. Burials of about forty individuals were found, as were coins and pottery, brooches, rings and animal bone offerings; most of this material seems to have been deposited in the Antonine period. Late, 4th cent, occupation is evidenced by hearths and may have been partly responsible for the disturbance of the burials. | |||||||||||||
