MenuAsh Tree Cave, Derbyshire
Ash Tree Cave is a Palaeolithic cave near Whitwell, Derbyshire. Ash Tree Cave is situated north of Hollin Hill, on the south side of the small dry valley of Burhill Wood. The cave consists of a relatively large entrance chamber, narrowing into a long, sinuous passage and containing backfill from partial excavations carried out since 1934. These have produced material from the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman periods. The main significance of the cave lies in the Palaeolithic remains. These include Later Upper Palaeolithic "Creswellian", Earlier Upper Palaeolithic and Middle Palaeolithic artefacts and faunal remains. It is within the council area of Bolsover (Derbyshire).
