Located a few metres above floor level in the north-west corner of the quarry, this twin entrance cave yields a small chamber and a narrow rift which can be pursued around several corners until it bifurcates and chokes. The cave was first explored by WCC in the 1960s and was extended by MNRC and more recently local Shepton cavers' aided by ATLAS. The cave is named after the Lesser Horseshoe bats, which have been seen to hibernate here.
Alternate Names: None recorded.
