A 1.5 m by 3 m wide pothole, about 15 m deep (Kharpran Daly 2004.02.25 Mss: Krem Syntoin). ETYMOLOGY: The meaning of the recorded cave name -Krem Syntoin- (Kharpran Daly 2004.02.25 Mss) has not yet been discovered (note 1). The desire to corrupt the original cave name into a Krem Syngon Shaft (Brooks et al 2010.03.29 Mss: Survey summary.xls) has been explained (note 2) but makes no sense (note 3).

Boycott 2004.02] 300 m up the rough unmetalled road towards Saipung [note 4], the pothole lies just beside the left-hand side of the road where the limestone outcrop ends and a visible shortcut track leads down the hill to the I.B. and village below.
