This cave is remembered as a network of natural rift passages on two levels with an area of breakdown in the middle. It was visited by Brian Prewer in the 1950s, when it was immediately opposite the entrance to the farm, but is now lost under debris from the abandoned adjacent Conkwell pig farm.
Alternative Names: Conkwell Wood Quarry Cave
Notes: This cave is thought to have been lost at some time in the 1950s or 1960s when new buildings were constructed at the farm.
