Several entrances at the base of quarried cliff in sandstone conglomerate. A maze of short rift passages leads to a main northerly trending rift that after several extremely tight squeezes terminates in a 5 metre pot into an impassable rift. There are some fine stalactite formations in the far reaches. There is abundant evidence of animal occupation of the cave.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: Entrances (2012) covered in grilles placed since 1991. These are passable. Access free but call on Martyn Lee at Farthings Farm close by to the cave on whose land the cave lies.
