Dog Hole Cave

Dog Hole Cave is an archaeologically significant cave near Storth, Cumbria, England [1]. Other names for the cave include Haverbrack Bank Pot, Haverbrack Dog Hole, Fairy Cave, The Dog Hole, and Doghole Cave [1]. It consists of a largely excavated 12 metres shaft formed in Carboniferous Limestone with 6 metres of steeply dipping phreatic tube at the bottom [1]. Further excavation was carried out by local scouts in the 1950s, and by researchers from Liverpool John Moores University in 2003 [1]. Radiocarbon dating of the deposits has provided dates ranging from Romano-British to Early Medieval [1].
