Twin entrances lead to the head of a 12m pitch which lands in a fine chamber with calcite coated walls. Up to the left is a greasy flowstone slope into a chamber with a descending crawl which has been pursued for some 10m. A calcite choke is met to the right of the ladder. Immediately below the ladder is a further 8m pitch landing in a chamber which connects with a passage below the chamber reached via the greasy slope.

A calcite ramp at the pot bottom closes off while, under the ladder, a trickle of water enters a low bedding with a boulder fill.
