This is a possible north entrance to a reported tunnel from the geo of Round (North) Reeva. It is based on the comment in the Report 1145 description of a tunnel from NS20 (Round Reeva east entrance) by N & S Thomson that the NS20 tunnel met a cross tunnel which appeared to go to the north side of the promontory. See entry for Round Reeva cave (east entrance) for more information.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: The position of this entrance is based on the supposition that such a tunnel would follow the direction of grooves visible on Pastmap Aerial aligned 049 degrees (nearly NE).
