An estimated 20 m deep shaft which can be free climbed. From high in the north wall enters a relatively »small« stream of unidentified size from an unexplored cave passage (Kharpran Daly, Boycott, Chapman & Jarratt 1999.02.09 personal communication). SITUATION: About 200 m approximately south of Umlong village (note 1) from where the cave entrance is reached by a track via what once in February 1999 used to be a "chilli plantation" down through jungle.
