Summary of site:

This large pothole, with an overhanging lip, descends 15m to the floor of a large chamber. The size of the chamber suggests that digging may uncover extensions.

Some 15m to the west is Goat Cave and sink. The cave is small and has been slightly extended by digging into squeezes with two 5m descents. The stream is small.
