Gower cave reindeer carving is Britain's oldest rock art
The engraving may be the oldest
rock art in north-western Europe
A reindeer engraved on the wall of a
cave in south Wales has been confirmed as the oldest known rock art in
Britain.
The image in Cathole Cave on Gower, south Wales was created at least 14,000 years ago, said Bristol University.
Archaeologist Dr George Nash found the engraving while exploring a rear section of the cave in September 2010.
