This site is a "long cave", it's a rock fall cave about 10 metres long that lays within 100 metres of ash cabin flat circle and about 200 metres from the fort.
If you enter it it's almost like a long barrow without the side chambers, very much like wklb.
You'd never find it without a guide and it would be an excellent place to retreat with no fear of being found if the fort was over run, should i add it to the site. ?

Hi Megadread,

If there is evidence of prehistoric activity/occupation in the cave, then adding it as a site in it's own right would seem within TMA's remit. Otherwise, maybe a mention in the fieldnotes for Ash Cabin Circle, maybe with a photo of the cave if you have one, to alert people visiting the area to it's existence.

Thanks,

TMA Ed.

This is Ash Tree Cave? I saw something on another site saying there was evidence of neolithic occupation, but that it was on private land and permission to go there MUST have permission. Hence the fence, huh?

The photos of the place look damn good. If there's evidence of ancient man anywhere close by, this site looks an excellent choice for habitation at the very least. It'd be more unusual if it hadn't been used.
