A low entrance at the top of a field. A crawl leads to a wide chamber with one small side passage.

The cave was excavated over a couple of trips in the summer, 2012. Entry was gained up to a choked high level passage, apparently just the space above boulders when the roof collapsed. Two passages are possibilities for extension: the left hand one is a low, flatout passage which requires enlargement past fallen blocks; the right hand one is a small climb into a low chamber, 6m across. There is no obvious way on but a return is needed on a good draughting day.
