An impressive rock-walled depression with the shaft top at the southern end. It may be worthwhile re-exploring and surveying this site. A calcite wall at the base of a choked shaft prevents further progress. It may be possible to bolt. Marked 209.

The original description above was re-investigated in the summer 2010. A steep climb down a grassy bank leads to a brambly and rocky floor with a shaft in the far corner descended for 38m. The floor is choked with no way on. (Presumably 55m depth ties into the lip of the depression). A ledge can be followed about 15m from the top of the shaft to the far side where a crawl under boulders leads to a further aven with a muddy floor and a large flowstone column. No way on found.
Of note, there was no obvious passage found to bolt into.
