For the most part the Nottingham Castle Sandstone Formation consists of weakly cemented, generally well-sorted, medium- to coarse-grained sandstones which contain scattered or, locally, abundant pebbles. Most of the sandstone is weak to moderately strong, the exception being where unusually strong matrix cement, such as barite, is locally present. These properties have enabled this formation, in Nottingham, to be tunnelled, in areas of low-water table, to provide cellars, store rooms, dwellings and passages. Dataset created by British Geological Survey (BGS) from historical analogue records held. Source of each individual cave record can be found under SOURCE field in attribute table. Dataset purchased by Nottingham City Council to aid geological knowledge of city and potential pathways for ground contamination. The data was originally updated by BGS in 2010 following corrections provided by Nottingham City Council, but is no longer maintained by BGS.

Caves Supplementary Planning Document (SPD): http://documents.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/download/7028
As part of the geological survey of Nottingham an assessment was made of the city's foundation conditions, including the extent and nature of the caves. It was decided to produce a register of the caves, together with index maps at 1:2500 scale, as a prerequisite to the production of thematic maps of foundation conditions beneath the city. Data collected rom a variety of sources. The SOURCE field indicates the source for each record. Digitised from paper register created in 1988. Data updated by BGS in 2010 with corrections advised by Nottingham City Council Archaeologist. New records added by Nottingham City Council as they are discovered since BGS ceased to maintain the data.
