A small entrance slopes down into a chamber with a squeeze into a well decorated passage which slopes steeply down to the base of an open shaft. (The shaft is site 5388.)

The cave was probably used during the Civil War, and the lower passage has been tunnelled (to provide an exit?) with the rusting pick-axe still to be seen at its end.

The site was re-explored in the summer 2023. (Photos?)
