A sink at the end of the modified field channel that exposed a low section of karstic cave before becoming infilled by mud.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Cave section entered by C. Coventry & F. Eadie in 2018. Observed to be choked again when visited by I. Greig in 2023 & 2024.
Pers. comm. with resident suggests that the adjacent field formerly contained a small loch that eventually drained itself through natural means.
