Description

Martin Ellis - 17/02/2020

This cave is a series of five small rooms connected by narrow passages and squeezes. The second room contains tree roots and parasitic plants. The final room has a skylight entering 12 m up the left hand wall. Speleothems are plentiful an actively growing. A tight squeeze at the entrance protects the cave from casual human visitors, though porcupines appear to use the cave heavily.
