Description
This cave comprises several chambers reached by climbing 2m down into the entrance. The first chamber is small with a large skylight in the roof. Two passages head off northwards and unite at the second chamber. A 4m deep hole soon follows, which takes water in the rainy season. The small third chamber is to the left. Beyond here the fourth and final chamber is soon reached. This has a small skylight and 2 low passages heading off that lead nowhere. Prehistoric pottery sherds were found in the first and second chambers. Serow faeces (old) can be seen at various points in the cave.
