Forbes' Quarry : ウィキペディア英語版 | Forbes' Quarry
Forbes' Quarry is located on the northern face of the Rock of Gibraltar within the Upper Rock Nature Reserve in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. The area was quarried during the 19th century to supply stone for reinforcing the fortress' military installations. In the course of the quarrying, a limestone cave was found. The second ever Neanderthal discovery was made within this cave when Cpt. Edmund Flint found the skull of an adult female Neanderthal in 1848. ==Etymology== Forbes' Quarry borrows its name from an 18th-century military installation located directly above the cave and known as Forbes' Battery.
