A discovery of possible Upper Palaeolithic Parietal art in Cathole Cave, Gower Peninsula, South Wales

Abstract

In September 2010 an engraving was discovered in Cathole Cave on the Gower peninsula in South Wales which has been interpreted as a possible representation of a cervid. Uranium series dating of calcite which overlays part of the engraving has been dated to approx. 12,500 BP suggesting a possible Upper Palaeolithic date for the figure.
