Gorham's Cave Complex is located in steep limestone cliffs on the eastern side of the Rock of Gibraltar. The complex includes four caves – named Vanguard, Hyaena, Bennett, and Gorham – that are believed to be one of the last habitations of Neanderthals in Europe. The complex is named after British Captain A. Gorham of the British Army’s 2nd Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers, who discovered it in 1907.
