Visited after seeing it noted on Chris Ebbs website.
Pheratic in nature, 2 entrances lead into a main chamber, the right hand entrance is 1 metre drop to a duck into the cave whilst the left entrance is a low squeeze. Just inside the cave is a bit of squirrel fur, and possible bedding material from potential sett along with a rusty old bucket and a few glass bottles.
A stooping passageway leads off the main chamber but becomes silted to a crawl.
