Cryptic caves

[Tritim230]

I'm out of action for a couple of days. Would someone else like to put their thinking cap on?

Just in case I got the last one correct, I came up with another.

Concrete base? (7,6)

 

[Tritim230]

A hint as this isn't a cave ending in the normal pot, cave, swallet, etc.
First word describes building material such as concrete or brick that has a vitrified surface (also the word is a synonym for something of poor quality). The second word is a synonym - think base of a valley, or the part of your body that you sit on! Horribly cryptic and not the most well known of caves.

Must be Clinker Bottom !!

Which appears to be a cave in the Forest of Dean!

 

[Tritim230]

Well done! A Forest collector's piece, indeed.

The reference to concrete threw me. As a civil engineer, I've never heard of concrete with a vitrified surface (brick, yes), but clinker is an intermediate step in the manufacture of cement, which is one constituent of concrete.

Twin Titties Swallet?

Twin Titties Swallet?

Spot on, well done.

For the last word
Bloodstone> heliotrope> setwall> swallet.

Your turn now Andys.

 

[andys]

Ok, try this important but rarely visited site.....

"Factory in the clear given reorganisation?" ( 6,4,4 )

 

[andys]

Wot no guesses yet? OK clue time. This is a resurgence on the flanks of the Ingleborough massif.

[Tritim230]

Should be straightforward....

Nice idea but no.
