Pothole entrance for Smoo Cave.

The largest of two neighbouring potholes in the roof of Smoo Cave's Main Chamber, found at the base of a deep fenced-off (and netted) depression at surface. The largest of the two is tear-shaped, and it's presence is the reason for the covering of the boardwalk directly below.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: See Smoo Cave [Site 2346] for main database entry.
