I'm guessing you think I was talking about The British National Party? and not the Barry Norman Party. You assume too much!

Worcestershire. Kinver Edge. Cave houses in Triassic New Red sandstone.
I didnae google mister, honest. But I did recently read The Hidden Landscape by Richard Fortey. And I used to live in Worcestershire.

Quite possibly I know the answer 
Which means I won't reveal it (yet!), because it would either spoil the fun

Doh. I went for the Kinver Edge cave houses because I thought they were a lot more obscure than Troglodytes troglodytes. (We seem to have a pair of them living in our garden at the moment. It's not often you see two together).

I'm pretty sure that Troglodytes is the species name for something common. What exactly it is escapes me at the minute.
