Shatter Cave
Shatter Cave is a cave in Fairy Cave Quarry, near Stoke St Michael in the limestone of the Mendip Hills, in Somerset, England. It falls within the St. Dunstan's Well Catchment Site of Special Scientific Interest.
The name commemorates the damage, done by blasting in the quarry, to some of the decoration within the cave.
== Description ==

Tor Chamber, Portcullis Grottoes and Pisa Passage are also highly decorated.〔 – which also contains a detailed description of the cave.〕
