   A prominent half moon entrance, easily seen from the road. To the left an ascending passage reaches the base of a surface shaft and a climb up near here detects a draught from a rift. To the right of the entrance 30m of walking leads to a blowhole into a small chamber with a tight squeeze to the right entering another low chamber with a possible calcite dig.
