A huge shakehole was passed at NC 21791 09328 but the bottom was filled with

rocks. There was plenty of evidence of slumping around the sides. [Nigel Dibden]

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: The location of this blind shakehole places it above the projected continuation of Uamh an Tartair past the Uamh Mhor pothole.
