Description

Martin Ellis - 17/02/2020

The cave entrance is gated and locked. The monks will readily open the cave. A few steps lead up from the car park to a terrace outside the gated and locked entrance. A couple of steps down lead into the small cave which has a couple of shrines. A small ascending passage leads up to a blocked second entrance. The cave is of archaeological interest as stone tools have been found and there are paintings.
