Altitude: 467 m

Large square shakehole, not easy to spot unless you're near to it.

Description
Pitch down shored shaft. Climb down to figure-8 shaped passage, this reaches a flat block - straight ahead is North Stream Passage which soon ends, left is Crossover Passage, after about 100m of mixed going this reaches the stream at Main Junction. Upstream along fine passage leads up a cascade, through a chamber then slightly smaller passages before arriving at the duck (a flat-out wet bedding), beyond enters Aurora Hall and The Far North, which provides more involved going with crawls, clambering over and around blocks before it emerges at the decorated Blackstone Chamber, two ways on from here soon end.

Downstream walking leads down cascades and through a chamber to reach the second short pitch whic lands next to the sump.
