Wemyss, Fife - Picts And Hermits: Cave Dwellers Of Fife (12x8)

Date de diffusion: Fév 20, 2005

Yesterday morning we came here to the Fife coast to look at some caves which had been inhabited on and off for some thousands of years. The first one we looked at was Jonathan’s cave which is way back there and there’s some great Pictish carvings on the walls, but we put a couple of trenches in and we haven’t found anything particularly exciting. But one of our archaeologists was footling around down this cave and came up with something which everyone thinks, could be really exciting, and obviously it had to be another cave that‘s a bit of a squeeze to get into. But tackling the appropriately named sloping cave is well worth the effort.
