Description

Martin Ellis - 01/07/2019

From the narrow entrance the cave starts with a 15 m deep pitch. Seven metres below the head of the pitch is a chimney which is the entrance to a narrow shaft which connects with the main cave at a depth of 17 m. From the bottom of the shaft the wide main passgae heads south-east before turning to the north-east. Where it changes direction, to the south there is a steep descending cleft. At the end the passage narrows and drops to the mud and boulder covered bottom of the cave. The way on continues as a narrow tapering aven on the same fissure. On the passage and shaft walls there is cave popcorn and short stalactites. The bottom is covered with rock rubble and mud.
