Description
Following the discovery of archaeological deposits in High Pasture Cave in May 2002, a photographic record and detailed survey was undertaken of the cave passage where the deposits were located by West Coast Archaeological Services. This was followed by a grid collection of disturbed faunal remains and archaeological material through the length of the fossil passage, which were under constant threat from visiting cave parties to the area. <1>
