Kirkhead Cave is an important archaeological cave situated on private land to which access is restricted. The cave has over the years revealed many finds ranging from a human tibia, teeth, and vertabrae, as well as flint implements. It is thought that human burial took place in the cave and activity occurred from late Neolithic to Roman times.
