Here, about 100 years ago, stone-age stone tools were found under a ledge. Nice, slightly elevated vantage point

Hiking

The rock shelter was NOT bricked up! People did NOT live in the small hole that is still visible now - a very common misunderstanding among visitors. Instead, the people of the Stone Age used the rock overhang, the so-called Abri, as protection and, as the text above describes, provided it with a canopy made of poles and sticks.
