The cave at the top of the grassy slope on the north face of the Aul Laft. Access is by a small hole which slopes down steeply and goes deep into the rock.
Discrete entrance at the base of the cliff section located by scrambling up a talus slope that has partially infilled the cave entrance. A low, narrow entrance crawl extends downwards at an angle of c.30 degrees for 5m, opening up into 30-35m of horizontal and comfortable walking-size passage (light required).
Alternative Names: None recorded.
