Description


Dunmore Cave
The earliest writings on the cave of an archaeological nature came from the bishop George Berkeley,[11][12] whose report dated 1706 detailed a visit that he made to the cave as a boy. The essay was not published until 1871.[12] In 1869 Arthur Wynne Foot, a physician, made an archaeological visit to the cave with Rev. James Graves and Peter Burtchaell and discovered large quantities of human remains, which they collected.[9] In his reports, Foot meticulously documented his findings, and culled references from the writings of researchers over the preceding 120 years.[9]
