Goldsland, Prehistoric cave system in Vale of Glamorgan, Wales
The Goldsland cave network extends through limestone formations, containing multiple chambers and passages along the Goldsland Brook watershed.
Archaeological investigations since 2005 have revealed human remains, flint tools, and pottery dating back to 3000 BC within the cave system.
The University of Central Lancashire conducts research projects examining evidence of prehistoric human activities and burial practices in the caves.
The cave site requires proper safety equipment and professional guidance, as sections contain narrow passages and potentially unstable geological formations.
Researchers discovered evidence of ancient cremation rituals performed inside the caves, indicating specialized ceremonial uses by prehistoric communities.
