Three metres to a ledge then 10m past fragile rock to a boulder floor. At the base of an undescended 12m pitch a chamber can be seen with ways off. The site could not be found (in poor weather) at Easter 2013, but was positioned and photographed in June.

The site was explored and surveyed in July 2013. The top of the entrance shaft was found to be quite loose along with the top of the second pitch. At the base of the second pitch, a tight meander was enlarged to enter wider passage. This squeeze is Passport Control. Beyond, the passage leads immediately to a third and then a fourth pitch (hung from a stal boss). Below, a fifth pitch is met with a tight squeeze over calcite. At the base the shaft degenerates into a thrutchy drop through breakdown. A long term dig would be necessary to get any further but there is no major draught.
