Abstract
Ocean Earth Technologies (OET) has conducted a geophysical mapping survey for the Anguilla National Trust at Fountain Cave National Park. The purpose of this work was to map the known Fountain Cavern and any other cavern systems located within state park property that may pose a collapse issue for future proposed buildings. Fountain Cave is an important heritage site as Pre- Columbian Indians carved their deities into several of the stalagmites within the cave. Fountain cave currently exhibits two distinct chambers at different elevations that have been connected by a roof collapse.
