The Cage, Litlington, Cambridgeshire - Retired Prisons on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
The Cage, also known locally as St Peter’s Hole, was built in the 18th century. The building is constructed of red brick. Early in the 19th century the vaulted roof was replaced with cream coloured Gault bricks and waterproofed with tar. The steps at the side of the structure used to house the village pump, now removed.

Litlington’s criminals would have been held in the Cage whilst awaiting transport to court. The cage was last used in the 1840s during a period of social unrest. It is rumoured that the last occupant set fire to his hay bedding.
