I thought it fantastic that these wonders are still being found, to think that science is a multi billion £ organization, but wonders such as these can be found with a pick and shovel.

What's also fantastic is that the unique find took place on an island that's been populated for many thousands of years. I didn't see any indication that the cave was discovered any earlier than 1999. Perhaps further results of exploration will show that it was once well known. Or not.

Its certainly got a good British name!
