Photo 1 entrance - looking ENE. Taken 1/2/25 by N Feilden as were the photos below.
Photo 2 inside looking towards the end. Note the grey boulder - photo below. It is 4.6 m from entrance to the near end of the grey boulder, and 8.4 m from there to the end of the cave. That is roughly in line beyond that boulder.
Photo 3 looking up right (E) at the slice/slot below the ceiling. Extends 3.7 m and about the same parallel to the main tunnel.
Photo 4 looking left (W) at the low space between ceiling/wall and beach.
Photo 5 close-up of the grey boulder. This appears to be mainly grey matrix.
