A small resurgence, a short distance downhill of the stream sink (choked by boulders) c. 200 m west of Poll Ceann a' Choille. A constricted crawl ends too low. Also found in 2006 was a new cave right above CG35.

Alternative Names: C.G. 35, Coille Gaireallach [35]

Notes: Coille Gaireallach is part of the Strath SSSI. Best example of an Oak and Birch/Hazel wood developed on Durness limestone. Situated on a gentle north-facing slope, a rich limestone ground flora alternates with acid heath and flushes, with open areas and sink holes.

Coordinates plotted on aerial photograph suggest this resurgence is on the Granite well uphill and to the southeast of the Oak and Birch/Hazel woodland.
