NS 022 582 Cave 16B. Evaluation in 2000 (DES 2000, 17-18) had revealed deposits of Iron Age and Early Christian date. Full excavation in 2002 revealed that the Iron Age deposits represented the earliest occupation of the cave. A period of abandonment was followed by a series of hearths and associated deposits relating to the Early Christian period. The cave continued to be used sporadically until relatively recent times.
Archive to be deposited in the NMRS.
