Short but wide rift which is followed to a very loose cross rift choked in both directions. Straight ahead from the cross rift a short crawl can be followed to a loose chamber. Used as a local children's 'den'. Vegetation hinders access.
Believed to be the cave historically called Tar Stalactite Cave.
Possibly also known (erroneously?) as Lookout Rift.
Alternative Names: Tar Stalactite Cave?
Notes: Mass-movement (Gull) cave
