Kirkdale Cave

Kirkdale Cave is a cave and fossil site located in Kirkdale near Kirkbymoorside in the Vale of Pickering, North Yorkshire, England. It was discovered by workmen in 1821, and found to contain fossilized bones of a variety of mammals from the Eemian interglacial, when temperatures were comparable to contemporary times, including animals currently absent from Britain or globally extinct, including hippopotamuses, straight-tusked elephants, the narrow-nosed rhinoceros, and cave hyenas.
