A low, draughting entrance slopes down to a tight squeeze into a 5x5m, well decorated and roomy phreatic passage. The main route gradually climbs then swings around to the right and rises up through and over boulders to a choke. To the left a low crawl emits a draught; this has been dug to a 8cm wide rift.
In 2007, the entrance was enlarged and photographs taken. The choke was also attacked, leaving an unstable roof that requires a long bar to progress. Further work occurred here at Easter 2008.
The cave was resurveyed in autumn 2007 and it appears that it is heading for the surface at site 309, possibly. However, the survey does not compare well with the original plan and the centre line needs surveying again.
