Fountain Cavern National Park

 
The Fountain Cavern is a natural and cultural wonder and Anguilla's top archaeological site. 50ft/15m down in a cave are two fresh water pools and many Amerindian petroglyphs or rock carvings. The most significant of these is a 16ft/4.8m stalagmite which has been carved in the shape of "Jocahu", the supreme God of the Taino Indians. The Fountain is thought to have been a major regional worship site and a place of pilgrimage for Amerindians.
