This historical marker, located near a rocky outcropping just feet away from busy High Street (Route 109) in Westwood, notes the location of the opening to a former cave. The cave has been mostly filled in with rock debris, and the small opening that remains resembles an oven.

Visit Instructions:
When logging a Massachusetts Historic Marker, we ask that you not only describe your visit, but to upload a picture from it. The picture does not have to be of the marker - one picture of the marker is enough. But a photo of you standing next to the marker or a photograph the subject of the marker - those are examples of possible photographs to upload.
