Jubilee Cave, Langcliffe Scar is a natural limestone cave located on the Yorkshire limestone escarpment near Settle in North Yorkshire. The cave shows evidence of human use during the Mesolithic period, with archaeological finds indicating occupation by hunter-gatherer communities in the post-glacial landscape. The site remains of significance for understanding early human settlement patterns in the Pennine region during the early post-glacial period, though the scale and nature of occupation continue to be studied. The cave itself comprises a natural cavity within the Carboniferous limestone of the scar face, and its archaeological deposits have contributed to knowledge of Mesolithic activity in upland areas of northern England.
