A cave which discovered in 1926 during quarrying operations at Steetley Quarry. The cave itself was subsequently destroyed during quarrying, and its precise location is unknown. A quantity of bones were recovered from the cave in 1926, and some were donated to the Wollaton Hall Museum, Nottingham, and were examined by Jenkinson some 50 years later. Species present include a single bear, some red deer, a horse, and a possible bison. Jenkinson suggested a date within the Ipswichian interglacial might be appropriate. A single human mandible is present among the material said to come from the cave. Jenkinson noted that it appears "fully modern", and that "suspiciously, the style of fossilisation is somewhat different from the rest of the fauna, and for the time being it cannot be firmly assigned to the cave". The fauna appear to be interglacial in type, presumably from the Ipswichian intergalcial. (1)
A verbal account places the cave in the old quarry (SK 558 811), approx. 4 metres from the quarry top. (2)
