The entrance to this cave is situated in the side of a valley and is a porch (7m x 7m). The entrance passage which draughts strongly leads to a pitch, 20m, down which a sizeable passage (15m x 10m) leads off. Beyond another pitch is a series of confusing passages, which are fairly well decorated. More development needed. There were numerous other entrances along the same cliff face that we briefly investigated, all of which ended abruptly. The lowest one, just above a sink, was descended to a depth of approximately 15m, where the way on was completely blocked by flood debris.
