Located just below the easternmost point of Stokeleigh Camp, this small cave consists of a single circular chamber. It was first recorded in 1965, and the subsequent dig, which was described by E. K. Tratman as 'haphazard', uncovered a number of bones, including human remains ostensibly dating from the Late Palaeolithic, along with a handful of flints. Fortunately, some material survived, and in 2017, professional analysis of a mandible purported to come from the dig returned a Neolithic date of 4889 BP.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
