The  bone  caves

Picture




The very first signs of life in Dulcote is in evidence in its hill.  Carved right into the west side of the hill are bone caves from pre-historic times.  The caves are known as the bone caves because of a discovery of bones of mammoth, hyena, cave bear, bison and glutton dating as far back as the Pleistocene era.
