The entrance is a small hole behind a flake at the base of a large depression.

A 4m climb down through boulders reaches a boulder slope to the head of a 28m pitch, split as a 20m and 8m. It is possible to swing through a window near the top of this pitch into a parallel, unsurveyed rift. A tight, loose, undescended pit at the base doesn't seem to connect with the main chamber and needs to be dropped.

A small passage at the base of the 8m pitch entrenches to the head of the 3rd 10m pitch. At the bottom is a 20 x 22m chamber with a further drop in the right hand side and a draughty boulder choke which was dug through to large, but completely choked chamber.
