Description

Martin Ellis - 17/09/2019

The cave has two entrances, the lower and larger of which drains a shallow depression. Much of the cave appears to be of phreatic origin. The main entrance is 3m wide and 2.5m high and leads past a 2m deep hole to a chamber. A smaller entrance to the right of the main entrance emerges in the same chamber. From the chamber a short scramble over an area of fine phreatic spongework and some rocky ledges leads to an inner chamber. The inner chamber has a flat floor composed of dry, fine grained sediments. A strong animal odour permeates this part of the cave that, together with numerous quills and scats, indicates frequent and recent porcupine habitation.
