Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 27/03/2016

An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to some 20 m of cave passage which leads to a breakdown of something or collapse of someone (BÄUMLER, G 1998: 6). ETYMOLOGY: The recorded cave name "Krem Dieniung" appears to represent a version of "Krem Dieniong" from "ka krem" + "ka dien" + "ba iong" or »Cave [of the] Black or Dark Track / Trace / Mark« (note 1). BÄUMLER, G (1998: 6), however, had recorded it as »Cave behind the House« (note 2).SITUATION: About 70 m in a direct line south-east from the main entrance to the church (note 3) in the village of Lumshnong and at the base of a sandstone-capped cliff.
