Subsequent investigation will probably show that caves were occupied at this time in every part of the country which was conquered by the English. In the upper stratum of Kent’s Hole, for example, near Torquay, similar articles, with the exception of the enamels, have been discovered. There, however, the occupation may have been considerably later than in the caves of Yorkshire, because the Roman civilization was not supplanted in Devonshire by the English until the beginning of the ninth century. The river Tamar then marked the frontier between the English, and the Brit-Welsh of the promontory of Cornwall, which represented the dominion of West Wales in the days of Ecgberht.[80] In the numerous caves of Wales, on the other hand, which I have explored, there is no trace of inhabitants of the fifth and sixth centuries, a circumstance that is easily accounted for by the fact that Wales was not invaded at that time by the English. There would therefore be no reason for the civilized Brit-Welsh to fly to caves for refuge. _Principal Animals and Articles in Brit-Welsh Caves._ The following are the more important animals and articles found in the group of caves under consideration. The species are identical with those which I have tabulated from refuse-heaps of Roman age.[81] _List of Principal Animals and Objects found in Brit-Welsh Strata in Caves._ +-------------------------+--------+-----+-------+-----+-------+------+ | ANIMALS. |Victoria|Kelko|Dowker |Kirk |Poole’s|Thor’s| | | | |Bottom.|head.|Cavern.|Cave. | +-------------------------+--------+-----+-------+-----+-------+------+ | | | | | | | | | DOMESTIC. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |_Canis familiaris_--Dog | X | X | X | X | X | ? | | | | | | | | | |_Sus scrofa_--Pig | X | X | X | X | X | ? | | | | | | | | | |_Equus caballus_--Horse | X | X | X | X | X | ? | | | | | | | | | |_Bos longifrons_--Celtic | | | | | | | | Short-horn | X | X | X | X | X | ? | | | | | | | | | |_Capra hircus_--Goat | X | X | X | X | X | ? | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | WILD. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |_Canis vulpes_--Fox | X | ...
