Looking out of Capeshead Cave
The cave was apparently discovered in the 19th Century by labourers excavating rock for the nearby railway embankment, when it was slightly longer than its current 20m. The entrance is 2m tall by 4m wide and is an archaeological site yielding animal and human bones and some pottery.
