Description
The main sink for the system is at Foxholes where a stream disappears under a low cliff. Unfortunately the passage is blocked by a boulder choke and flood debris after a few yards. A shaft sunk near the entrance choke has now collapsed.

The resurgence at SO 657803 is totally unenterable - the water issues from fissures in steeply dipping limestone. The stream passage was entered by an incline at SD 656804, driven by the late Duncan Glasfurd, from which it could be explored for about 45m upstream to a sump pool. The Birmingham Enterprise Club attempted to blast a way round the sump, but without success. The entrance now appears to be blocked.
