A 10 m wide entrance arch leads via a large, steeply sloping boulder strewn passage to the final boulder choked pit after 30 m. The floor of the pit can be reached by a climb down boulders. At the foot of this climb a drop through boulders leads to a 45¦ rift which terminates in a mud choke after 50 m. Continuing to the far end of the pit there are two ways on: a 2 m drop to a short passage and a small chamber in boulders and a 5 m climb up a stalagmite bank to a short, but very well decorated, passage. Just inside the entrance arch a dusty chamber may be entered through a 1 m high arch where a 4 m pitch leads to another low chamber. The way on at the foot of this is a 0.5 m wide rift that draughts a little, but becomes impassable after 3m. Daylight penetrates almost the entire cave. This appears to be an abandoned stream sink. The passage descends steeply down dip and is in an advanced stage of breakdown. Many of the smaller passages are simply alcoves in boulders. The cave is well decorated throughout.
