Bracelet Cave is a natural cave located in the Mendip Hills near Cheddar in Somerset. The site shows evidence of human occupation during the Mesolithic period, with archaeological finds including worked flint and bone tools indicating its use as a shelter or habitation site by hunter-gatherer populations. The cave derives its name from a bracelet reportedly discovered within it during antiquarian investigations in the nineteenth century. Its archaeological importance lies in its contribution to understanding post-glacial settlement patterns and subsistence strategies in south-west England.
