The cave entrance lies in a prominent alcove with a small scree slope running down from the south east.
A stoop enters a chamber where a pitch drops in from above through another entrance, site 3437 (no daylight seen from below). A small passage drops down and chokes to the right. Ahead, a crawl at chest level drops into a descending rift that chokes.

The cave was revisited in April 2023 when bats were seen.
