Description
Length: 50m

Just inside the entrance is a fair sized chamber. Straight ahead some steps lead into an excavated tunnel that leads into a low stream passage. To the right of the chamber a promising passage goes for a few metres but it soon deteriorates into a low, wide bedding plane.

The site is alo a bone cave and an SSSI. A very important palaeontology site.
