mickypotts Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Does anyone out there recollect a small cave set into the cliff side on the left side about halfway to three quarters of the way down the path in the hapenny woods? I remember crawling inside about 3 or 4 body lengths as a child and being too afraid to squeeze any further, there may possibly be some artifacts waiting to be found in and around the area, also is that old shack/ caravan still there where the Muldoons used to live?

Maggie/915 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I believe one burial cist ended up at the British Museum and then no record could be found.For us in Bedlington it would be of huge importance but at the British Museum just one of thousands.

keith lockey Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 There was a tiny cave just below Dene View. Me and Jim Hunter went in...separately... cos it was small. It was really claustrophic. It was more like a Foxes den than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
