Walking and wading to a sump. The choke above draughts strongly. The site was dived and linked to cave 0246 at Easter 2000 through a 27m long sump between boulders. The underwater passage starts off 1m wide and 2m high and then enlarges.

J. Notenboom (AX) found the following fauna in 1984: Pseudoniphargus, Echinogammarus/Gammarus (Amphipoda ocul. jov.), Cyclopoidea, Prosobranchia/Hydrobioidea, Bivalvia/Sphaeriidae, Insecta, Oligochaeta, Nematoda, Hirudinea.

At Easter, 2015, cotton wool detectors in this resurgence gave a positive result when the optical brightening agent Leucophor was put into the sink at 3886.
During an optical brightener test from site 3884, detectors were placed here from 13th February 2016 and checked over the next few days in rising and falling flood conditions. The result was positive. The optical brightener came through at the resurgence between 48 and 72 hours later. (The full details can be found here.)
