Cave
Access In the dry valley behind the main Penwyllt Quarry. The entrance is marked by spoil.
Description Capped 10m shaft in a small shakehole leads to a miniature streamway. Upstream (north) reaches a boulder collapse after approx 30m. Downstream , the passage enters a constricted sump after a similar distance, which receives occasional (chemical) attention. The water flowing in this small cave appears in Cwmdwr Jama via the upstream choke.
