Description

Martin Ellis - 10/08/2019

The cave has a walk in entrance with an earth floor. After about 8 m the passage reduce to sub-human size with no draught. The cave could be extended by removing earth, but digging would probably be a waste of effort. However, the potential of getting into an active streamway might be an incentive. The cave seems to be an old resurgence, and seems to be in solid rock.
