Cae Gwyn Cave is a Prehistoric cave site located in Flintshire, Wales, that has yielded evidence of human occupation dating to the Palaeolithic period. The cave has produced archaeological material indicating its use during the later stages of the Stone Age, contributing to understanding of early human activity in Wales. As a designated scheduled ancient monument under Cadw protection, the site preserves important stratigraphic deposits that have provided insights into prehistoric settlement patterns and resource exploitation in the region. The cave's archaeological significance lies in its role as one of the recognised Palaeolithic localities in north Wales, though like many such sites, its full archaeological potential remains incompletely documented in accessible scholarly literature.
