"A short crawl into a small chamber with a deep pool" was finally pushed in August 2014. This had been refound in the summer 2000 as site 1561 and described then as "a walk in to a 10m chamber with two 5m passages off".

At the back of the entrance chamber, a squeeze between stal leads through a short crawl and another squeeze into a turquoise blue gour pool. This quickly goes out of depth necessitating a traverse out of the water passing a blockage on the left over more deep water. A stal blockage was removed to enter more out of depth water. The cave ends in a sump area which was inspected by Jim Lister (with bottles) in August 2016 and found to have no underwater leads. The cave is well decorated throughout and the water is crystal clear. (A pushing trip at Easter 2015 found the cave sumped just inside the entrance - and also at Easter 2016).

The cave was used as a water supply (for a short time?) after a pipe was laid in 1976. An account can be found in the logbook. The dowsing reaction from behind the church resurgence (site 3541) heads towards this cave.
