MenuAveline's Hole, Somerset
Aveline's Hole is a Palaeolithic cave situated on the east side of Burrington Combe, Somerset. The cave entrance was first opened in 1797 when a number of extended human skeletons were discovered, some encased in tufa, lying on the cave floor. Later excavations undertaken between 1919-27 uncovered a rich Late Upper Palaeolithic deposit in a 3 foot thick cave earth under a thin stalagmite floor. The finds included lithic artefacts and a rare example of a biserial antler harpoon. It is within the council area of North Somerset.
