A vertical cave entrance (about 1 m wide and an estimated 5 m long) with unspecified characteristics appears to give access to what was identified as [a] shaft (anonymous Brooks, S J 2010.02.14 Mss: Krem Lacarvi 2). SITUATION: The cave entrance to the shaft of the second (2nd) so-called Lacarvi (sic!) was said to lie at an estimated distance of 250 m downhill to the west of Krem Lacarvi 1 in the jungle (note 1) and offset parallel to a limestone wall without identified orientation (anonymous Brooks, S J 2010.02.14 Mss: Krem Lacarvi 2).
