Devil's Den is a popular place name in rugged landscapes everywhere, and the Appalachians have plenty "dens." This video shows one in Virginia from the field and with lidar, and compares it to another example in Arkansas that shares a few characteristics. This Virginia Devil's Den is a very strange type of cave that doesn't form like "normal" caves. The US Geological Survey lidar is the best part of this video, but hopefully the field images from Virginia support what you see with the lidar.
