A narrow slot in a scar next to the road with large stals visible. The site
was enlarged in the summer of 2004 allowing a tight squeeze down to the pitch
head. The explorers down the 9m pitch found an old bolt at the top, suggesting
that the site had been descended by thinner people in the past but not
documented. A dig at the base of the pitch closes in.
Road widening in 2009 appears to have left the site relatively untouched.
