Description
Length: 50m

The entrance to this cave is at the southern end of Higher Kiln Quarry. Situated 2m above the quarry floor the entrance is a tube some 1.5m in diameter from which a tunnel slopes up to the right for 5m.

This tunnel forks, the left hand branch opening into a small chamber but going no further. The way on is through a narrow opening in the floor with a 2.5m drop onto a ledge and a further 3m drop into a chamber.

This bedding chamber is about 12m long and 6m wide but only about 1.5m high.

Access
Unknown, but probably controlled by the William Pengelly Cave Studies Trust.
