Active Cave
Access The entrance is situated about 65 metres above the resurgence of the Bishopston Stream.
Description The cave can be explored for about 15 metres until the roof meets the water. A vertical squeeze then leads to a continuation of the passage which appears to sump after 10 metres. A small hole on the left just inside the entrance leads via a long squeeze to a bedding plane where water is met again. Another squeeze on the left goes for about 10 metres.
