Approached from the first hairpin. Site 415 is approx. 90m away on 230°.

An excavated entrance which leads to a fine Yorkshire pot with good hangs for SRT. The first 11m drop is free climbable by jamming. This leads to a tight slot which opens out to the second 8.4m pitch. This ends on a pinnacle and a climb down through a rift to the head of the third, 7m pitch. The base of this is a level of some horizontal development at 245m altitude.

Pitches of 13m, 8,4m and 18m follow in quick succession to a 5m free climb down to pools and an impenetrable slot.

Avens at the base of the 3rd pitch have not been climbed. A passage on the left at the 3rd pitch base meanders updip to a calcited choke. The down dip continuation across a rock bridge and is a body sized hole.

The cave is formed on one joint (130° - 310°) with an inlet entering down dip (15°) and has no connection with site 415.
