My morning walk was more of an off-track ramble through the burnt part of the woods, where features formerly hidden by undergrowth have become newly visible. I discovered an unfamiliar cave area. Not sure which historical period these belong to. According to All That Remains, some similar caves, not far from here, were used by the villagers of Beit Susin to shelter animals, and another set of nearby caves has shards and mosaic pieces from the Byzantine era scattered around. However, the origins of all these caves may be from a still earlier historical period. The stone in this area is malleable limestone, and has therefore been excavated for cave construction since ancient times.
