Dog Holes is a cave on Warton Crag about two miles north of Carnforth in Lancashire. Dog Holes has been inhabited over a considerable period of time. Exploration by J.W. Jackson in 1909-13 recovered quantities of human and animal bones, the former regarded as mainly Neolithic but some possibly later. Neolithic finds included Beaker pottery. The Roman period yielded potsherds, an intaglio brooch, a balance, iron knives, iron slag lumps and whetstones, whilst a hammer stone, bone pins, a bone piercer and a weaving comb are regarded as of Iron Age origin. It is within the council area of Lancaster (Lancashire).
