Dig. Tight fissure 0.5 m wide at bottom of large shakehole full of bracken. Passage drops further 5 m meeting tight level stream passage. Glacial till only a couple of metres thick halfway up side of low hill. A revisit of this site on 21/04/2026 showed this shake to be completely choked & containing a young tree.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Original coordinates seem wildly inaccurate. Probable error in Northings placing the cave far north of its actual position. Ammended coordinates measured during revisit.
