Additional Details:
Tradition alleges that this cave was used by Lord Cornwallis as a safe refuge in time of danger. It may have been used by him as a magazine for the storage of ammunition. But we decline to believe that this gallant and brave English officer would stoop to any such cowardly act. It was, no doubt, built and used by smugglers.
