An easy free climb on the right or a five metre ladder climb leads to a steeply sloping rubble heap. A 7.6m pitch follows and a steeply inclined bedding passage leads to a 7.3m pitch. Passage then lowers to a strongly draughting 4cm airspace over water.

The cave was extended in 1995 through 20m of passage where it is impossible to turn round to a 10cm high passage over silt with a fair draught but not much chance of digging.

The entrance marked with yellow tape and a chiselled "A".
