1. Cave No. 13. Search having been made, June, 1880, among the rubbish 
where this cave is stated to have been, a molar tooth of the Cervus megaceros was 
found, whose condition betokened that it had lain in cavern deposits. 
2. Cave No. 14 has been explored, and yielded such evidences of human 
occupation as jet, objects of carved bone and iron, slag, whetstones, flint chips, 
marine shells, broken bones of domestic animals, charcoal and burned stones.

3. In Cave No. 16 portions of a stratum of coarse gravel have been found, 
adhering to the base of the stalagmite, and analagous to the gravel (5th stratum) 
in the Ballynamintra Cave.

4. Cave No. 26 has been found to contain a kitchen midden, probably in con- 
nexion with the Dun or fort above it. This contained a quantity of coarse, broken, 
handmade pottery, full of quartz grains and charred; a rude stone hatchet formed, 
not like a celt, but by chipping a suitably shaped stone to an edge, with grooves 
for attachment to a handle; shells of river mussels; broken bones of domestic 
animals; charcoal and burned stones or pot boilers.
