Full Description
Partially sealed fissure high in the rock face which was first noted to be eroding bone materal by Armstrong in 1921. (1)
Discovered 1979, excavated 1979. Human use (2 artefacts) and animal use in early post-glacial period. Large area of undisturbed deposits survive. Note this information is probably refering to another cave (see (3)). (2)
Nottinghamshire County note this as 'Dog Hole Fissure', however this is incorrect as it is confusing the site with either Dog Hole Cave (SMR 34302) or Dog Hole Fissure (SMR 34328) just to the west of Dog Hole Cave. (3)
