Description
A small entrance leads to low passage which opens out as into large chamber. The continuation is
a low wet crawl which leads to a wider and higher passage with some formations. The passage then
becomes narrower and lower. It ends at a tee junction with sandy infill. This could be dug very
easily and there is plenty of space for stacking bags in the main chamber. There is a hole in
the floor just after the start of the wet crawl which may conceal another passage but is water
filled.

Unexplored Passages
None

Digs
None other than the initial breakthrough. Potential digs at end.
