Inside the cave are traces of mineral and shells, suggesting that the cave was a grotto of some sort, a popular garden feature during the late eighteenth century. The rear of the cave is hollowed from the sandstone that lies beneath the Park, whereas the front section is made up of a random rubble rock construction. At the entrance to the cave there is evidence of iron bars having formerly closed off the entrance, possibly being the remains of a gate.
