Location
Grid Reference: SS 462 936

In the cliffs near Bovehill Farm

Description
Depth: about 40m

Gower's deepest cave.

The entrance is hard to find.

Unusual for Gower due to its depth and pot hole type development. Small entrance leads to two 4m piches to the floor of first chamber a squeeze goest to second chamber which is 10m long and 3m wide a hole in the floor leads to the a 10m pitch and the floor of the 3rd chamber or 'Black Hole' st the bottom are two pots one of which leads to the water table. A dig was conducted here at some time which failed to find any thing significant but incresed the depth to the current 40m.

Ladders or ropes should be used for some of the piches.
