Cave entrance, Gop Hill

This cave is just south of the cairn at the top of Gop hill. It was used as a burial place in neolithic times. The cave has a spacious interior and links to a smaller cave via a small passage which you have to crawl through - not very pleasant as there are rocks on the floor and tiny animal droppings! I would also recommend a hard hat as it doesn't look very safe.
