   This resurgence is one of two situated in a eucalyptus wood with much undergrowth. The water flows down into a depression and cave-sink at site 1618. This cave is the southern-most resurgence. The cave appears on the Cueva Hoyuca and the Four Valleys System Hydrology diagram.

   A 1.5m high hole enters a small stream passage with roots which currently "ends" at a small chamber with cairn. Up to the left a crawl and short dig leads to a choke of calcited boulders which should dig. Straight ahead in the chamber, it is possible to lie flat out in water with a possible route up to the left that may link beyond the first dig. At Easter 2016, the digs were inspected and "could be worth the effort".
