Approach
Situated on the western slopes of Pico Carraspion, approx 1km from Oceno

Entrance
Small bricked up passage (1m x 1m)

Description
Entrance leads to various chambers, each containing large volumes of rotting cheese (1972). After 40m the cave trends steeply down a large flowstone cascade towards a 14m pitch. The cave ends in a well decorated, partially sediment filled chamber containing helictite formations. A mud filled passage was seen to lead off in the floor of the chamber and evidence suggests this takes a small quantity of water during wet weather

Reference
Reading (1972)
