   An open cave entrance in a small depression above the farm at the edge of the enclosed area containing Cueva Snottite and Orchard Cave. The passage is an old, phreatic remnant which is mainly walking-size and up to 5m tall in places. At the rear of the entrance passage is a short wriggle between boulders. Beyond there are some large helictites and a group of fine formations including some curtains. Not all the passages have been pushed but it is assumed they will connect to the main route.
   The cave ends at an 8m pitch which is choked. To the left, the passage continues as a stal choke. This has been dug once but little progress made.
   A mesolithic deposit near the entrance includes various stone tools and a human mandible fragment. (See Ruiz Cobo J and Muñoz Fernández E, 2013, pp359 - 360.)
