(Anonymous Marshall 2005.02.23 Mss: Krem Siat Kriah 2) turned out to consist of a rift too tight (Anthony 'Tony' R Jarratt and Graham Marshall in: Arbenz, T 2006.05.21 Mss: Abstracts.xls), which became too tight at around -15 m (JARRATT 2006: 6). SITUATION 1 (Anonymous Marshall 2005.02.23 Mss: Krem Siat Kriah 2): At an unknown location (note 1) supposedly reached by trending north from Krem Siat Khriah 1 bearing slightly west 100 mtr [more likely: About 70 or 75 m in a direct line approximately WNW] to an increasing gradient full of karst pinnacles. SITUATION 2 (Jarratt 2006.03.04 Mss: Cave Log, vol. XIII, 2006.02.08): … on a ridge below Shnongrim hill fort. SITUATION 3 (JARRATT 2006: 6): Somewhere in the Lum Manar area.

XIII: 8/2/06): escent 6 m into a 14 m long rift again becoming too tight. CAVE DESCRIPTION 3 (Brooks 2006.02.23 Mss amendments to Anonymous Marshall 2005.02.23 Mss: Krem Siat Kriah 2): Blind rift pot. PROSPECTS: At a first glance nil / minimal –finished (Brooks 2006.02.23 Mss).escent 6 m into a 14 m long rift again becoming too tight.

History

EXPLORATION HISTORY: 2005.02.22: Evermore Raplang (Evermore Sukhlain) shows the entrance to Anthony 'Tony' R. Jarratt (2005.03.06 Mss: Cave Log, vol. XII: 46, 22/2/05), Graham Marshall and Fraser E. Simpson. 2005.02.23: Graham went with Evermore to GPS the entrances found the previous day (Brooks 2005: Mss Meghalaya Diary). 2006.02.08: Anthony 'Tony' R Jarratt and Graham Marshall visited (Arbenz, T 2006.05.21 Mss: Abstracts.xls) and 'surveyed' (tape spotter standards) to a degree yielding an accumulation of lengthwise measured distances. Jarratt (2006.03.04 Mss: Cave Log, vol. XIII: 8/2/06): Krem Siat Kriah 2 was descended by Des for 6 m into a 14 m long rift again becoming too tight. Anonymous Brown et al. (2006): Wednesday 8th February -- J.Rat, Des, Neil and Henry went to Lum Manar hill fort, then dropped five shafts nearby (Krem Kya 1, 2 and 3, Krem Siat Kriah 1 and 2) each ending in tight rifts after ca. 15 m depth.
