Are these caves?

They look ideal places for a caveman to sleep, light a fire, raise a family and cook Sabre Toothed Tigers. That makes them caves... (Peter's right)

Camping in the edge of a cave and cooking on a camp fire sounds like the perfect east to spend an evening

You want to look  at the cave at the West end of Harborough Rocks near Wirksworth.. It has previously had a door of some sort fitted across the entrance. It is is very roomy and has a hole in the roof to facilitate  the exit of smoke from a fire.  Wouldn't mind living  there myself tbh. If only access were easier to get my furniture  there!, lol.

Not quite a cave, but last year we were in a bar where the whole of one wall was a boulder. And when we went upstairs to our bedroom, we found the rest of the boulder was in our bathroom, with a little shelf carved out of it to hold the toilet roll.

I seem to recall writing a piece for the DCA Newsletter many years ago on the Harborough Rocks Cave and I certainly produced a survey of the cave.  It was mentioned by Daniel Defoe, who recorded a family living there (that's in the 18/19 Century).  It has been the site of archaeological digs which found remains going back before the Roman occupation of Britain.

Flicking through the northern cave guide...book 5 I think... and their are caves in there that are only a few meters deep, Widley caves in Stanhopeburn are the first that spring to mind.

Didn't Dave Brook once define a cave with a test? If it passed the test then it got included in Northern Caves and if it didn't - well it didn't.

Was it a written exam? I thought caves were illiterate?

We appear to going of tangent.  Where is this cave?
