The Rocky Chamber.
Five finds were made here: a part of the skull of a large hyena; the teeth and jaw of a hyena;, a sheep skull; the lower jaw of a wolf; and a piece of flint.
The flint was of nondescript form, it had not been used, though several flakes had been dislodged from it. It was of a chalky texture with tolerably sharp edges. It was found in the fourth foot-level below the granular stalagmite in September 1879.
