Description
Fauna
Bats; crickets; amblypigides; porcupine
A small entrance 3m x 2m high quickly closes down to a flatout crawl over a flowstone false floor which turns right and then left before emerging at the cave proper. The first chamber is large although a huge boulder in the middle fills a large proportion of it. The sediments in this chamber appear to contain archaeological deposits. From this chamber the cave ascends quickly up flowstone cascades and breakdown boulders to end at a 6m climb into a possible high level continuation. At the foot of the final flowstone cascade there are three connecting holes down between boulders in the floor. These are about 15m and have not been descended.
