Glen Dochart, NW of Meall an Fhiodhain, E of Leadcharrie Burn, Stirlingshire.

Cave. Best reached by traversing S fom Sheiling Stream Cave to next major tributary usually identifiable by prominent waterfall. Follow downstream to 15 m beyond where stream sinks & traverse south 20 m to 'Resurgence Cave' stream follow upstream to source, then up & right where entrance is obvious. Alternatively follow Ledcharrie Burn to main junction below Meall an Fhiodhain & follow resurgence stream. Entrance under small broken rock face, 0.75 m high, 2 m wide leads directly to only chamber, 4 m long, 5 m wide, 2 m high. Impenetrable rift running back into hillside for 3 m with stream running below. Stream enters chamber from very low bedding plane at foot of rift. Only hope of more passage digging in possible collapsed narrow pothole a few metres downstream of stream sink.
