The cave is {{convert|8|m}} below the plateau and {{convert|27|m}} above the valley floor.[1] It is named after M. J. Picken who found teeth in earth thrown out of their sets in the area by badgers.[2] A number of Middle Palaeolithic artefacts, and two Neolithic teeth dated to about 4,800 years bp, were recovered from the cave.[3][4][5] Faunal deposits of spotted hyena, lion, Arctic fox, mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, horse, reindeer, suslik and northern vole (Microtus oeconomus) from approximately 35,000 BP have also been recovered.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Picken's Hole (Scragg's Hole), near White Rock, Compton Bishop|url=http://www.somersetheritage.org.uk/record/10459|website=Somerset Historic Environment Record|publisher=South West Heritage Trust|accessdate=26 April 2015}} {{coord|51.2910|-2.8664|type:landmark_region:GB|display=title}}2. ^{{cite journal|last1=Tratman|first1=E.K.|title=Picken's Hole, Crook Peak, Somerset: A Pleistocene Site|journal=Proceedings of the University of Bristol Spelaeological Society|date=1964|volume=10|issue=2|pages=112–115|url=http://www.ubss.org.uk/resources/proceedings/vol10/UBSS_Proc_10_2_112-115.pdf}} 3. ^1 {{NHLE|desc=Picken's Hole|num=1010715|accessdate=26 April 2015}} 4. ^{{cite book|title=The British Palaeolithic: Human Societies at the Edge of the Pleistocene World|first1=Paul|last1=Pettitt|first2=Mark|last2=White|publisher=Routledge|year=2012|pages=364–65|location=Abingdon, UK|isbn=978-0-415-67455-3}} 5. ^{{cite book|last=Smith|first=David Ingle|title=Limestone and Caves of the Mendip Hills|year=1975|publisher=David & Charles|isbn=978-0-7153-6572-4|pages=360–361}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Crook Peak to Shute Shelve Hill SSSI citation sheet|url=http://www.english-nature.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1001580.pdf|publisher=English Nature|accessdate=26 April 2015}} External links
