Fox Hole Cave is a Palaeolithic rock shelter located near Stoney Middleton in Derbyshire, England. The cave has yielded evidence of human occupation dating to the Late Upper Palaeolithic period, with archaeological finds indicating use during the final stages of the last Ice Age. The site comprises a natural limestone cavern with deposits that have produced artefactual and faunal remains of significance to understanding post-glacial settlement patterns in the East Midlands. Its archaeological importance lies in the material culture and environmental data recovered from stratified deposits, contributing to knowledge of hunter-gatherer populations in Britain during the late Pleistocene.
