The entrance is a 1m by 1m hole. Immediately inside the entrance is a fixed 5m iron ladder which leads down into a high roofed chamber (10m x 6m). The floor has been cemented over and the cave is used for meditation. At the opposite end of the chamber to the entrance ladder is a small crawl leading off to a silt floored chamber (3m x 5m).
