Description
The cave is located at about 2.5 km north-northeast of the village of Trefil at an elevation of about 550 m, at OS grid reference SO 127152 (51.8286 degrees North, 3.2672 degrees West).

The cave is also known by two different names in Welsh: Ogof Fawr (the 'Big Cave') and earlier as Tylles Fawr (the 'Great Hole'). The more commonly used modern name derives from 1839 when Chartist rebels used the cave to stockpile weapons in advance of their march on Newport in November…
