Description
The large walk in entrance leads to a squeeze into a well decorated chamber with passages to the north east (left) and south east (right). The NE passage leads past formations to another junction with a large calcited rock to the left showing the way to a terminal chamber with a fine pillar formation. The passage to the right of the rock continues for 40m to a final chamber with a fine gour pool. The SE passage leads past formations to a 10m x 10m chamber with a very well decorated area between two large pillars with twin pillars and a large gour pool behind. To the right a long row of stalagmites leads to the right hand edge of this chamber and a squeeze into a narrow passage with a decorated bedding chamber to the left. A continuation of the tight passage leads into the terminal 20m x 15m guano floored chamber where many bats roost.
