Further bones and an iron artefact were discovered from the cave in the early 1980s and a bear tooth was found in 1985. MB 31.07.17 Description : The cave site was visited in Feb 2019 but only one cave entrance could be found (referred to as cave 2 on the ogof.org.uk website. The small entrace was located next to the public footpath. Its opening was approximately 0.5m wide and 1.0m high. The cave is narrow and inclines steeply downwards. The floor is covered in foliage and probably hides sediment which may conceal archaeological deposits. The cave extends at least 6m back. It is probably well visited as it is conveniently located on a public footpath making it easily accessible. CE Feb 2019 The cave was visited by Barton and Collcutt as part of their cave survey in 1986. The site has no exact name. It is more properly called Pant-y-llyn cave but this may refer to several cave remnants throughout the disused quarry. The cave has almost been completely destroyed by quarrying. See survey report for photos. CE 27/07/18 Human bones found at Pantyllyn or Craig-y-Derwyddon caves in the 19th century. Wild boar and elk teeth were also found. Limestone cave system in which a quantity of human bone was recorded in the last century. Undated, but probably prehistoric? A highly doubtful early medieval attribution has also been proposed, but there is no current evidence for an early medieval date. NDL 2003 The cave was discovered by quarrymen in 1813 during blasting of the limestone outcrop. Twelve skeletons were said to have been found together with the bones of elk and wild boar. The human bones and faunal remains were said to have been reburied in the cave whilst one skull was given the Dean William Buckland who is alleged to have deposited the skull in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. Writing in 1893, a local historian attempted to debunk the myths associated with this find, and to locate the extant deposits of this cave (Stepney-Gulston, 1893). He ascertained that the remainder of the bone assemblage had been deposited at the mouth of the cave and had since been buried by quarry waste. The choked entrance to the cave was rediscovered in 1962 but was not pursued again until the early 1980's when the new land owner began to dig out the choked passage. Bones and an iron implement were recovered from these diggings and the efforts were made by the NMW to remove some of the quarry debris to reveal blocked entrances but to no avail. The southern end of the quarry was partially surveyed by DAT in 1983 and a length of former cave passage was identified in the quarry face (Murphy, 1983). The landowner continued to excavated the choked passage revealing more faunal remains and invited Mel Davies to identify the assemblage. In between the further extension of the passage, the entrance was noticed by two school boys who entered and recovered what was later identified as being a bear molar from a deposit of bones within the cave passage (Davies, 1985). The remains of recently deceased dogs, badgers and birds were discovered. The presence of the bear molar presented a problem of taphonomy and it was concluded that it must have derived from a higher level in the choke which was dominated by stalagmites and clearly of some age. This area was briefly searched for further remains but to no avail although it was considered possible that further remains may have been buried by the sandy sediments on the floor of the chamber. Davies and a small party continued to push the passage which measured around 600ft in length with only one main passage. Off-shoots from the passage were not surveyed (Davies, 1985). MB 31.07.17 Writing in 1990 Tony Oldham describes the caves connections to local lore concerning links to King Arthur and Owain Llawgoch and includes a sketch of the situation of the skeletons found during the early 19th century (Oldham, 1990: 52). Oldham also describes the entrances and passages of the cave in great detail prior to the proposed recommencement of quarrying in 1992, and provides an extensive bibliography. This appears to be the most recent description of the cave and it is likely that it has been greatly impacted by recent quarrying. Presumed damaged if not destroyed. Site not visited.

Page 35. in which it is mentioned. "Recent field work by Brian Johns has identified several cup marked and incised groove stones in Dean. The first to be found were in Blakeney Hill woods where one had been incorporated into a later stone structure while two others lay nearby. Three more were found on Broom Hill near an ancient trackway and not far from the "Drummer Boy Stone", itself hollowed out. Other rocks with incised grooves were found near the above sites. Examples are now in the nearby Dean Heritage Museum. A further cup-stone was noted by Toby Groves in a field near Abbot's Mill, Brockweir, although it was more bowl than cup-shaped being 18cm in diameter and over 7cm deep."
