The whole area is just fields, farmhouses and small villages.
Apparently, a woman was sitting in the passenger seat of her husband's car when -as they neared a
roundabout, she looked to her left and witnessed two beings that she described as Neanderthals!
Friggin' immigrants, right?!
All joking aside, I'd be interested in reading that account if it can be located. I can see survivals in out of the way wilderness areas as may be found in Central Asia and Siberia, but a thickly populated place like Britain? Then again, as I pointed out above, there are stranger things in Heaven and in Earth...

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’

Sorry for the delay, I'm looking for it!
I am too, but so far have only found reports from North Carolina (unlikely as a Neanderthal, because the fella that saw it reported a height of 10 feet, whereas the average Neanderthal male was around 5'4" or 5'6"), one in Finland, one in New York, and a scattering in Central Asia and China. It's a bit of synchronicity that the report you mention comes from east of York - as far as I know, Myra Shackley who researches such things still lives in North Yorkshire. Maybe she would know of it.

Thanks for the links, it'll keep me occupied for a while!
I may have mixed-up details of the 'cavemen' sighting with another account described below at 6.44,
but the visuals were correct and reported on another video made by this person. And I''m still trying to
find the written and recorded information.

Just slightly south of the place in the video above, another recent account of something that shouldn't
be in the UK!
18th Feb. 2020.
Quote:Mystery as 10ft-tall creature 'darker than night' spotted roaming near Humberside Airport.
'A man who claims he saw a "10ft creature" that was "darker than the night" run across the A18 near
Humberside Airport has encouraged others to come forward with their spooky sightings.
Lee Solway, who runs the Realm of the Supernatural podcast with co-host 'Finchy' McFinch, said they
would be discussing some of the area's most infamous cases at the Research and Witness Convention
(RAWCON) 2020 at Princes Quay Shopping Centre.
The convention will run between Friday, February 28 and Sunday, March 1.
Lee said they would be discussing the strange sightings from across the region, including Hull's infamous
'Old Stinker', and other tales across the region. "We want to see if there are other witnesses who could come
forward," he said.
He said a "black mass about 10ft tall" had recently been seen crossing the A18 near Humberside Airport, first
by an elderly couple and then by his co-host 'Finchy'. "He thought it was a ghost at first, he could see it had a
humanoid form but it was darker than night and it just moved across the road.
Lee Solway hosts the 'Realm of the Supernatural' podcast here's the photograph of the two deer legs in the road
close to where the 'black creature' was spotted.
"We went back the next day and there was a hole in the bottom of the hedgerow so something could have crossed
there." Soon after, co-host Finchy also found and photographed two "deer legs" in the middle of the road nearby.
"I just think that's a little bit strange," Lee said.
"The picture quality isn't great as it was taken from inside the car because he was a bit creeped out.
"You tell people about it and they say it's just poachers, and yes that does go on but why would a poacher stop on
the A18 to butcher a deer carcass?"
The 'Old Stinker' is a famous tale of Hull and East Yorkshire folklore, a half-man half-dog creature mostly seen
stalking the area around Barmston Drain, near Beverley. It was even reportedly seen eating a dog before being
spooked by the onlookers and jumping over an 8ft fence with it still in its mouth.

But that is far from the only strange sighting reported in the region.
"South of the river there's been quite a few sightings of a half-deer, half-man creature very similar to the 'puca' in
Celtic folklore," Lee said. "You also get Bigfoot sightings that run up and down the A15."
He said he and his co-host started the podcast after having different encounters with a shadow man and a UFO.
"We'd listened to other podcasts by people who hadn't experienced this stuff and we had, so we just did it," he said.
The podcast is available on streaming sites including iTunes and Spotify and each episode gets thousand of hits,
often heard by listeners as far afield as the US and Australia.
He said his opinions on the supernatural are often met with scepticism, but he still believes there are more people
out there yet to share their experiences. "One of my mates was talking about this dog-man sighting and this guy
suddenly got interested," he said.
"He normally poo-poos this sort of thing this guy, who was in his 70s, but he asked what he was talking about and
he told him and he said, 'Well that's what I ran over all them years ago.'
"He said it had been a foggy morning driving his Mini, and he hit something crossing the road and it spun the Mini
360 degrees. He saw an animal lying there and it sprung up and turned round, with yellow eyes and the hind legs
of a dog, and it just bounded off.
"And he had carried that with him for 30 years, so there are people out there."
Now he is asking others to come forward to share there experiences, anonymously if need be, for them to discuss
at the upcoming convention. "I expect people to be doubtful but it's just our makeup," Lee said.
"We used to have acceptance of these things in the past but with technology and the rest of it we've moved away from
the spiritual side but people do run into it now and again, like many people will get the feeling of being watched and
things like that. "We do have the ability to believe these things we just don't use it."...'
