First documented as a shallow, undescended shaft with a tree growing out of it and the possibility that the site may continue at the base. It was eventually explored and documented in the autumn, 2018.

The entrance, about 2m deep, can probably be free-climbed but a ladder is useful. A passage slopes down to a climb on flowstone into a small chamber with calcited and non-calcited bones, possibly of goats. The outlet immediately becomes too small. A larger chamber in the roof is probably most safely reached through an upwards slot just inside the cave. The chamber is about 4m in diameter and is well decorated. (PS)
