Description

Martin Ellis - 05/07/2020

This small cave is maintained by a solitary dedicated monk. The 15m wide entrance chamber has been partly enclosed and a level concrete floor constructed. A 20m passage behind leads past a spartan bedroom cell to a large inner sanctuary with a tiled floor and a collection of statues on a raised platform.
