Description
Very interesting, if not revealing observations made the effective cave explorers Anthony 'Tony' Jarratt and Graham Marshall by one one Evermore (E. Raplang or E. Sukhlain) in the case of what appears to be a pothole at which, after only three explorations trips and at a cost of mere 9 man-days, nothing but an amount of lengthwise measured metres (estimated 14 m without cave plan) has become known in spite of applying violent and destructive -exploration- techniques. SITUATION 1 (Marshall 2005.02.23 Mss, literally quoted): Heading down from main path which lus 500 nores NE from site of old village. at an unidentified position (without coordinates).SITUATION 2 (Anthony 'Tony' R Jarratt 2006.03.04 Mss -Cave Log- 13, entry 06/2/8): … on a ridge below Shnongrim hill fort.

CAVE DESCRIPTION 3 (Jarratt 2006.02.08 Mss amendments to Marshall 2005.02.23 Mss: Krem Kya 3): 10 m deep pot with partly dug open entrance in soil. CAVE DESCRIPTION 4 (Brooks circa 2006.10.31 undated Mss amendments to Marshall 2005.02.23 Mss -Krem Kya 3- dated 23/2/05, 8/2/06): [Deleated: c. 10 m] 14 m … ending in too tight rift. CAVE DESCRIPTION 5 (Arbenz, T 2006.05.21 Mss: Abstracts.xls): 14 m rift too tight. CAVE DESCRIPTION 6 (JARRATT 2006: 6): Too tight at around -15 m. CAVE DESCRIPTION 7 (JARRATT 2006: 20): 5 m long at a vertical range of 5 m. CAVE DESCRIPTION 8 (Jarratt 2006.03.04 Mss -Cave Log- 13, entry 8/2/06): A too tight rift at 14 m depth. PROSPECTS (Brook circa 2006.10.31 undated Mss amendments to Marshall 2005.02.23 Mss: Krem Kya 3): Minimal / nil. circa 2006.10.31 undated Mss amendments to Marshall 2005.02.23 Mss: Krem Kya 3): Minimal / nil.
