[The original description: A 5m climb down under a boulder to a
calcite chamber with no draught belongs to another site, possibly #0428,
which needs checking out.]
The site at this grid reference - a large open shaft in the trees to the
west of the meadow - is a 9m pitch down over leafy ledges to a bouldery floor.
A much narrower, enlarged pitch drops from this point for about 6m. It splits
and both routes close down. There is a faint draught up an alcove at the
base of the first pitch.
The site was re-explored and surveyed for 35m on Christmas Day, 2023. The only prospect is a fairly big capping job along the tiny rift at the bottom of the entrance pitch.
