Abstract: |
An archaeological survey and limited excavation was undertaken of the man made cave and gorge created at the beginning of the 1880's. Trenching clearly showed the line of a sandstone pathway leading through the cave with the east and west ends blocked off by wooden gates. A number of rock alcoves and niches raised and at ground level, appeared to have acted as receptacles for growing plants in. The structure appeared to have originally been roofed by 1/2-inch thick roof glass probably supported by 'T' shaped glazing bars connected to five long girders. Some of the thinner glass may have been used for a window or for filling at the two ends of the cave. [Au] |
