A 13m shaft yielding a small passage which ended in a muddy choke close to Duck's Pot. Partway down the entrance shaft, a chamber could be entered from where a roomy but dangerously unstable passage could be a followed to a choke which lay directly below the original entrance to Balch Cave, of which it doubtless represented a northward continuation.
