Fox Hole Cave is a prehistoric rock shelter located in Derbyshire, England. The cave has yielded evidence of human occupation dating to the Late Upper Palaeolithic period, making it an important site for understanding early human habitation in the British Midlands. Archaeological excavations at the site have produced artefacts and faunal remains that contribute to knowledge of Palaeolithic settlement patterns and subsistence strategies in the region. The cave's natural rock formation provided shelter for hunter-gatherers during the final stages of the last Ice Age, and its deposits preserve a significant record of this ancient occupation.
