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. ?
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.

Well as far as i can tell it's unexcavated and little known, put it this way, the head of archaeology for the area, a man i respect seems to have no knowledge of it in his records though i'll bow to superior knowledge of the site if anyone can supply it.
Reallly i'm not bothered if the site isn't recognised, it'll be quieter when i visit. ; 0
