   A 6m wide entrance is found in trees below site 1514. The cave has been a cow shelter and has choked low crawls at the back and on the left. A second cave mentioned in Fernández Gutiérrez et al, 1966 is unexplored beyond the first few metres and has yet to be positioned. (Could it be site 1514? or site 1918?)
    The choked crawl at the back was partly excavated in the summer, 2022 and continues. It heads towards 1887 which appears to be about 4m distant.
    The cave has been a paleolithic or mesolithic habitat. A number of items were found below a band of yellowish sediment: a worked flint chip, a small piece of sandstone and fractured bones.
    There is a "potential dig" 20m to the west, just over the fence.
