View of the entrance of a cave in Oreston.
Oreston is near Plymstock, Hooe and Turnchapel. It is on the
opposite side of the Cattewater to Cattedown. In the early 19th
century there were Breakwater Quarries extracting limestone at
Oreston. Eventually they found large amounts of fossil bones in
caves here. The first scientific cave excavations took place in
Plymouth at Oreston.
