This paper examines the cave systems of Worlebury Hill, North Somerset, drawing on an unpublished manuscript by the late Christopher Richards. It documents archaeological and palaeontological discoveries from sites such as Doorbar’s Swallet and Worle Quarry, revealing evidence of Pleistocene fauna and prehistoric activity. By integrating historical records, fieldwork, and overlooked sources such as local newspaper reports, the study highlights the value of diverse archival materials in reconstructing the region’s karst landscape and its archaeological significance.

A gold bracelet excavated from a cave near Ebbor Gorge in 1955 was found not to be Treasure Trove, and was retained by the landowner, Wing-Commander Gerard Hodgkinson of Wookey Hole and passed down his family after his death. Sadly, it was later lost once more and its current whereabouts are unknown.

Church Hole Cave is one of nine caves situated within the Creswell Crags Gorge, located along the boundary between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. This gorge has been a focal point of archaeological research for over 160 years. The cave itself was first subjected to scientific exploration in the summer of 1875. Following this initial investigation, extensive excavations were conducted, during which significant quantities of faunal remains and lithics, as well as significant geological deposits beneath a calcite floor, were removed. In 2003, an Anglo-Spanish research team uncovered engraved figurative rock art within the cave, contributing to its scholarly importance. Additional discoveries were made by one of the authors (GHN) in 2022 and 2023, during which potential painted imagery was identified in the rear section of the cave. At the time of these discoveries, the cave lacked a detailed survey plan, thereby restricting the accurate plotting of these new discoveries. In early 2024, a team from Terra Measurement Ltd, commissioned by the Creswell Crags Museum & Heritage Centre, undertook a detailed topographic survey of the cave. This paper outlines the methodologies employed during the survey, presents the findings obtained, and explores the broader implications of such surveys for the study and interpretation of other caves within the gorge.

This report details the work done towards the re-survey of the Coolagh River Cave in Co. Clare, Ireland by members of the Society in September 2024 and September 2025. Surveys and descriptions of parts of Polldonough West Entrance, Upper Bedding Cave, West Inlet, West Series, Column Hall, Polldonough South and the Mud Branch have been produced or expanded upon, building on previous work. This facilitates further work in the cave leading to the end goal of a full re-survey of the whole system. Additonally, a further part of Cullaun Zero has been added to the survey.
