    the cave,decided to investigate it, He set out one fine moonlight night with a spade and started digging in the centre of the ring, He dug for some time without result, but he continued and at last his spade struck something hard. ans on looking he came to two stone steps. He was afraid to dig any further and also afraid he might fall into space so he gave up the attempt. No one has ever investigated it since,
