  • Excavations at Cathole Cave, Gower, Swansea
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc., 2014, 26 (2), 131-169 EXCAVATIONS AT CATHOLE CAVE, GOWER, SWANSEA by ELIZABETH A. WALKER, DAVID CASE, CLAIRE INGREM, JENNIFER R. JONES and RICHARD MOURNE ABSTRACT The discovery of an engraving in Cathole Cave in 2010 led to a decision to grille the cave. In 2012 excava- tions took place in the cave ahead of the grilling. Two areas of the cave were excavated; Trench A demonstrating that the cave held a faunal occupation dating to MIS 3, at a time, or times, between 50,000 and 30,000 BP. Two flint blades of Upper Palaeolithic appearance were discovered along with a faunal assemblage from within the shallow deposits across the line of the grille. The work demonstrated that the earlier excavations in the cave by Col. E.R. Wood were extensive and at this point in the cave he excavated to bedrock. The standing section (Area B) which he left exposed further along the main cave passage was also cleaned, recorded and sampled. The deposits contain a faunal assemblage dominated by microfauna, but no cultural artefacts were found. The dating of key animal bones, the analysis of the microfauna and the sedimentological analysis have together enabled a picture to be developed of the changes in this section from the mid-Devensian to Late Glacial and Holocene. INTRODUCTION Cathole Cave is located in an inland dry valley, Green Cwm, Gower, Swansea, (NGR: SS 53764 90011; Figure 1). The cave lies in a fractured and weathered limestone cliff above the valley in which the Neolithic Severn Cotswold tomb of Parc le Breos Cwm is sited.

  • Explorers Connect Adventure Shared Gower Peninsula Coasteering
    www.explorersconnect.com Explorers Connect www.facebook.com/ExplorersConnect Adventure shared www.twitter.com/explorerstweet Gower Peninsula Coasteering Adventure 28 - 30 July See the Gower peninsula from a stunning new angle this summer: don a wetsuit and coasteer into hidden caves, jump off cliffs and scramble along the rocks taking in swirling waters, dramatic horizons and the stretching expanse of the Welsh shores. On the first day we’ll be coasteering with experienced guides, jumping off spectacular rocky cliffs, climbing through holes and discovering hidden sea caves. In the afternoon when we’ve dried off we’ll head back out with the guides to see the beaches from a different angle – rock hopping and scrambling against an amazing backdrop of plunging waves. Keep your eyes peeled for the local marine wildlife as we might be lucky enough to see seals and dolphins. On the second day you’ll have the opportunity to take advantage of the different walking options around the Gower peninsula - you can head east to Three Cliffs Bay, traverse a circular route around the Rhossili headland, or explore the northern coastlines and see the famous Blue Pool. If you’re more in the mood for relaxation you can spend the day swimming and chilling out on the peninsula’s award-winning beaches. No experience of coasteering is necessary and all specialist kit and experienced guides are provided. Just come with a swimsuit and a sense of adventure! For our accommodation, we’ll have exclusive use of our own lodge, nestled in the sand dunes just 100 metres from the beach.
