The initial chamber leads to a series of loose, cross jointed passages. A
sandy crawl then leads to a length of nicely decorated passage which ends
at two large chambers. There are holes between the boulders and one has been
descended to 19m.
The above description was taken from the 1979 exploration account. The cave
was re-explored, re-surveyed, photographed and extended into Ann Summers
in 2005, although the pitch down mentioned above was not found. A nearby
dig (site 2223) was opened up and nearly connected.
The original survey was found
to be 90º out.
The entrance may have been sealed off with a door in the past and the remains
are stone pillars and a lintel.
