A cave at the Liepa Cemetery and the Ellītes homestead was formed in white sandstones as a triangular-type chink. Its depth is 8 m, width of the base — 0.5 m (at the entrance 1 m). A small spring flows out of the cave. The entrance into the cave is narrow and low, it would be difficult to get inside even for a little child, a grown-up would have to crawl on knees or grovel. As there is a spring flowing out of the cave, one has to take into account that at the entrance and in the cave there is water (Julita 2008, 2012a). It is assumed that the Little Ellīte is an ancient cult site (Vietas Ltd., 2005, 2012b). In the nearby surroundings there is the Large Ellīte, Lode clay-pits, Līči-Laņģi Cliffs.
A tale narrates that the Devil was expelled from the Large Ellīte, so he moved to live in the Little Ellīte (Cēsis 2012a). “In ancient times the Devil lived in the Large Ellīte of the Liepa Parish. The Devil sat each day on the verge of the road and repaired pastalas (simple footware made of one piece of leather) with a sledge thill. When traders were passing by on their way to the market to sell cows, the Devil bought the cows and paid money for them. When traders came home, they found birch-tree leaves in their pockets instead of money. Later god-fearing people called for 12 priests to expel the Devil from the Large Ellīte. When priests arrived and entered the Ellīte, the Devil became scared and ran away to the Little Ellīte just by tree steps. Where the Devil made a step, deep holes appeared that can be seen even nowadays.” (Laime, 2009)
