Cave hidden beneath Pembroke Castle could rewrite Britain’s prehistoric story

A major new archaeological project will delve deeper into a cave hidden beneath Pembroke Castle, where preliminary excavations have already produced some of the most extraordinary prehistoric finds in Britain.
Calleva Foundation funding has been awarded to the University of Aberdeen to lead a five-year exploration of Wogan Cavern at Pembroke Castle – home to remarkable evidence of early prehistoric humans as well as important animal remains, including a hippopotamus which roamed Wales 120,000 years ago.
The project will further be supported by the Pembroke Castle Trust, who are expanding their team and developing the castle space to ensure that the finds from Wogan Cavern will be curated and kept in Pembroke.
