The Devil's Tower was an ancient watchtower in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar close to a rock shelter where fossil remains of a Neanderthal child were discovered, together with palaeolithic tools.

It was demolished in 1940 during World War II[1] on the orders of Governor General Sir Noel Mason-Macfarlane on the grounds that it was in the line of fire of one of Gibraltar's many guns.

The remains were excavated by Dorothy Garrod in a Mousterian shelter on the site in 1926.

[3] There is evidence of an injury to the mouth, and the teeth show developmental disorders consistent with seasonal starvation.

The classic Neanderthal large brain case is evident and the brow ridges have started to develop.
