   One of the small resurgence caves that feeds the sink at site 1618 about 80m above 4th River Inlet area in Hoyuca. The other resurgence is site 1617.
   A small, draughting entrance at the top of a tiny, overgrown streambed drops straight into a hole with a hands and knees crawl at roof level. Water is then met , followed by a short crawl over a mud false floor, another watery section and a step to the left. After another 8m, exploration has temporarily ended at another mud false floor with a wet crawl underneath. The passage can be seen to continue for at least another 10m.
   At Easter 2016, the cave was thought to sump a short way in with a mud bank acting as a dam at the entrance. A trench was dug to start draining the water.

The cave appears on the Cueva Hoyuca and the Four Valleys System Hydrology diagram.
