What is recorded here

Bat cave set into the piers of the Wharncliffe Viaduct is shown and named in a reusable Geograph picture. The saved point is the picture's recorded map point.
The cave is a small, man-made crevice formed into the sandstone piers of the 19th-century Wharncliffe Viaduct, a railway structure built by the Midland Railway. While primarily a structural feature, the shelter has become a roost for bats and has no known archaeological or folklore significance.
