This cave is located 2 m above the east bank of the River Traligill, midway between Lower Traligill Cave and the confluence of the river with the seasonally dry Allt a' Bhealaich. A low crawl floored with angular rubble leads to a steeply descending thrust plane. Descending this a 3 m awkward squeeze on the left gains a further 8 m of descending rift. At its base, a decorated slot guards 7 m of crawling to a total choke.
Alternate Names: None recorded.
Notes: The cave was explored by SUMC prior to 1959 and extended by the GSG in 1993.
Hydrographic Feeds: River Traligill (in extreme flood conditions)
Hydrographic Resurgences: River Traligill
