It is as much as a middle-sized man can do to creep, leads
into a low, arched chamber, cut out of the country, and
which was never either faced or roofed. This chamber
was about 15 feet long, 12 broad, circular (or rather
elliptic), and perhaps 31, to 4 feet high. There is every ap-
pearance of the continuation of the cave beyond the door-
way; and arrangements have been made for following
it up in the course of the next week or ten days.
It is supposed that the work will be done by the Society of
Antiquaries, or elso by the Local Society. A spear-head
tnd some pottery, found in the excavations, have already
been secured. There seems little doubt that the fogGu
was either within or immediately outside the old British
fort at Treveneage Bekkan, which formerly protected the
tinworks and smelting-houses, of which traces exist in the
valley below, but which fort some ruthless improvir of his
estate destroyed long before the present enlightened era.
