A 28m pitch, initially constricted and broken by 2 ledges, drops to a tight
rift which has been dug. The entrance has a strong draught according to a
possible visit in 1990.
The site was re-descended over Christmas 1996 and described as a wide rift
pitch with several landings to a flat, stony floor. A narrow rift goes off
with the draught audible about 5m away. "Sideways, flatout traversing by
a dwarf may lead to progress".
On a trip in 2007, the draught was again heard and avens explored. A moderate
amount of work is required to open up the rift to give a view around the
corner. Some enlarging occurred over Easter 2008 and it is still worth pursuing.
